Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) AB

Explanation

Group AB RBCs carry both antigen A and antigen B, and its plasma has no antibodies.

With no anti-A or anti-B antibodies, it can receive blood from all groups without agglutination, so AB is the universal recipient (acceptor).

Group O, with no antigens, is the universal donor, not acceptor.
