Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Blood Group B contains B antigens on the surface of the red blood cells and Anti-A antibodies in the plasma.
- Individuals with Blood Group B can donate to Group B: Because they share the same antigen and won't have an immune reaction and Group AB: Because individuals with AB blood do not have Anti-A or Anti-B antibodies in their plasma, making them "universal recipients" who can safely receive B antigens.
