Solution

The correct option is C rhesus positive
In addition to the ABO blood grouping system, the other prominent one is the Rh blood group system. About 80% of the population contains the third antigen on the surface of their red blood cells known as Rh factor or Rh antigen. This decides whether the blood group is positive or negative. If the Rh factor is present, an individual is rhesus positive (Rh+ve); if an Rh factor is absent, the individual is rhesus negative (Rh-ve).
