Solution
The correct option is C O
Antibodies for the antigens A and B exist in the plasma and these are termed Anti-A and Anti-B. The corresponding antigen and antibody are never found in the same individual since, when mixed, they form antigen - antibody complexes, effectively agglutinating the blood. When blood cells do not agglutinate with addition of either Anti-a and Anti-B serum then the blood group is O.
