Solution

The correct option is D O
  • O blood group is the universal donor.
  • It has no antigen such as A, and B present on the surface of RBC to react with the recipient's blood.
  • Therefore, it is compatible with any blood type.
  • Similarly, Type AB blood is called the universal recipient type because a person who has it can receive blood of any type.

Hence option D is correct.
