The correct Answer is:
To determine the blood group based on the formation of a clump with anti-A and anti-B antisera, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Role of Antisera**: Antisera are solutions containing antibodies that can react with specific antigens. Anti-A will react with A antigens, and anti-B will react with B antigens. 2. **Identify the Reaction**: If a clump is formed when blood is mixed with anti-A and anti-B antisera, it indicates that both A and B antigens are present on the surface of the red blood cells (RBCs). 3. **Determine the Blood Group**: - If clumping occurs with anti-A, it means that A antigens are present. - If clumping occurs with anti-B, it means that B antigens are present. - Therefore, if clumping occurs with both anti-A and anti-B, the blood group must have both A and B antigens. 4. **Conclusion**: The blood group that has both A and B antigens is known as blood group AB. However, if no clumping occurs with either antisera, it indicates the absence of both A and B antigens, which corresponds to blood group O. 5. **Final Answer**: Since the question specifies that clumping occurs with both anti-A and anti-B antisera, the blood group is AB.
