The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect regarding blood groups, we will analyze each option based on our understanding of the ABO blood group system. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Blood Group O:** - A person with blood group O has no antigens (A or B) on the surface of their red blood cells (RBCs). - However, they have both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in their plasma. - **Conclusion:** The statement that a person of blood group O has anti-B antibodies in their blood plasma is **correct**. 2. **Understanding Blood Group B:** - A person with blood group B has B antigens on their RBCs and anti-A antibodies in their plasma. - If a person with blood group B donates blood to a person with blood group A, the anti-A antibodies in the blood group B recipient will react against the A antigens in the blood group A recipient. - **Conclusion:** The statement that a person of blood group B cannot donate blood to a person of blood group A is **correct**. 3. **Understanding Blood Group Designation:** - Blood group designation is based on the presence or absence of antigens (A and B) on the surface of RBCs, not on the antibodies present in the plasma. - The ABO blood grouping system classifies blood based on these antigens. - **Conclusion:** The statement that blood group is designated on the basis of the presence of antibodies in the blood plasma is **incorrect**. 4. **Universal Donor and Recipient:** - Blood group O is known as the universal donor because it has no A or B antigens, allowing it to be transfused to any blood group without causing an immune reaction. - Blood group AB is known as the universal recipient because it has both A and B antigens and does not have anti-A or anti-B antibodies, allowing it to receive blood from any group. - **Conclusion:** The statements regarding the universal donor and recipient are **correct**. ### Final Conclusion: The incorrect statement among the options provided is the one that claims blood group is designated based on the presence of antibodies in the blood plasma. Therefore, the answer is **option 3**. ---
