Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A person with blood group B can receive blood from donors with blood group B and O. Blood group A and AB contain A antigen which can cause an immune response in the person with blood group B. Therefore, option A and D are incorrect. Option C (O) is a universal donor group as it doesn't have A or B antigen on its red blood cells. Hence, option C is the best choice(s) for a blood transfusion recipient with blood group B. Option B (B) is also a compatible donor group as the recipient and the donor share the same blood group.
