The correct Answer is:
To determine the type of blood group of the donor friend who can donate blood to a person with an unknown blood group, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the ABO Blood Group System The ABO blood group system consists of four main blood types: A, B, AB, and O. Each blood type is defined by the presence or absence of specific antigens (A and B) on the surface of red blood cells. ### Step 2: Identify the Universal Donor Among the four blood types, blood group O is known as the universal donor. This means that individuals with blood type O can donate blood to anyone, regardless of the recipient's blood type. This is because blood group O lacks both A and B antigens, which prevents agglutination (clumping) when mixed with other blood types. ### Step 3: Consider the Situation In the scenario presented, the person in need of a blood transfusion has an unknown blood group. Since the blood type is unknown, it is crucial to ensure that the donor's blood will not cause any adverse reactions. ### Step 4: Conclusion Given that blood group O is the universal donor and does not cause agglutination with any blood type, the donor friend must have blood type O. Therefore, the correct answer is that the donor friend has blood group O. ### Final Answer The type of blood group of the donor friend is **Type O**. ---
