  3. CAB Group

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) O Group

Explanation

O-negative blood has no A, B or Rh antigens on its red cells, so it can be given to any recipient.

This makes Group O the universal donor.

AB positive is the universal recipient; A+ and B+ carry antigens that limit donation.
