The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Blood Group Antigens:** - Blood group antigens are specific molecules present on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). They play a crucial role in determining an individual's blood type. 2. **Identifying Types of Blood Group Antigens:** - There are different blood groups based on the presence of specific antigens: - **Type A:** Has A antigens on the surface of RBCs. - **Type B:** Has B antigens on the surface of RBCs. - **Type AB:** Has both A and B antigens on the surface of RBCs. - **Type O:** Has no A or B antigens on the surface of RBCs. 3. **Role of Antigens and Antibodies:** - Along with antigens, blood also contains antibodies. Antibodies are proteins found in plasma that react against antigens not present on the individual's own RBCs. - For example, Type A blood has A antigens and anti-B antibodies. 4. **Locating Blood Group Antigens:** - Blood group antigens are specifically located on the membranes of red blood cells (RBCs), also known as erythrocytes. 5. **Evaluating the Options:** - **Option A:** Hemoglobin - Incorrect, as hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen and does not contain blood group antigens. - **Option B:** Plasma protein - Incorrect, as plasma proteins do not contain blood group antigens; they contain antibodies. - **Option C:** RBC (Red Blood Cells) - Correct, as blood group antigens are found on the surface of RBCs. - **Option D:** None - Incorrect, since option C is the correct answer. 6. **Conclusion:** - The correct answer to the question "Blood group antigens are found in" is **Option C: found on RBCs.** ---
