The correct Answer is:
To determine which blood groups a person with blood group 'O' can receive, we need to understand the characteristics of blood groups and the presence of antigens and antibodies. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Blood Group O**: - Blood group O has no antigens (A or B) on the surface of the red blood cells. - It contains both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma. 2. **Compatibility of Blood Groups**: - **Blood Group A**: Has A antigens and anti-B antibodies. Therefore, it cannot be given to a person with blood group O because the anti-B antibodies in group O will attack the A antigens. - **Blood Group B**: Has B antigens and anti-A antibodies. Similarly, it cannot be given to a person with blood group O because the anti-A antibodies in group O will attack the B antigens. - **Blood Group AB**: Has both A and B antigens but no antibodies. A person with blood group O cannot receive blood from AB because the anti-A and anti-B antibodies in group O will attack both A and B antigens. 3. **Conclusion**: - A person with blood group O can only receive blood from another person with blood group O. This is because group O does not have any antigens that could trigger an immune response against the transfused blood. ### Final Answer: A person having blood group 'O' can receive blood of group **O only**. ---
