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 grouping system. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Blood Groups**: - Blood groups in humans are classified mainly into four types: A, B, AB, and O. - The classification is based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). 2. **Identifying Antigens and Antibodies**: - Blood group A has A antigens and anti-B antibodies. - Blood group B has B antigens and anti-A antibodies. - Blood group AB has both A and B antigens and no antibodies against A or B. - Blood group O has no antigens and has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies. 3. **Evaluating Each Statement**: - **Statement A**: "A person of O blood group has anti-A and anti-B antibodies in his blood plasma." - This statement is **correct**. A person with blood group O does indeed have both anti-A and anti-B antibodies. - **Statement B**: "A person of B blood group can't donate blood to a person of A blood group." - This statement is **correct**. A person with blood group B has anti-A antibodies, which would react with A antigens in the recipient's blood. - **Statement C**: "Blood group is designated on the basis of presence of antibodies." - This statement is **incorrect**. Blood groups are designated based on the presence of antigens on the RBCs, not antibodies. - **Statement D**: "A person of AB blood group is a universal recipient." - This statement is **correct**. Individuals with AB blood can receive blood from any group without risk of agglutination because they have no antibodies against A or B antigens. 4. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement among the options is **Statement C**. Therefore, the answer to the question is **C**.
