The correct option is B O
The ABO blood group system consists of 4 types of blood group – A, B, AB, and O and is mainly based on the presence or absence of antigens on RBC and antibodies in the plasma. The person with blood group O has no antigens on RBC's but have both Anti A and Anti B antibodies in plasma hence they are considered as universal donors.
