The correct Answer is:
To determine to whom a person without A and B antigens can give blood, we need to analyze the blood group system based on antigens and antibodies. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Blood Groups**: - There are four main blood groups: A, B, AB, and O. - Blood groups are classified based on the presence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells. 2. **Identify Antigens and Antibodies**: - **Group A**: Has A antigens and produces anti-B antibodies. - **Group B**: Has B antigens and produces anti-A antibodies. - **Group AB**: Has both A and B antigens and does not produce any antibodies against A or B. - **Group O**: Has no A or B antigens and produces both anti-A and anti-B antibodies. 3. **Determine the Donor's Blood Group**: - A person without A and B antigens is classified as blood group O. 4. **Compatibility of Blood Donation**: - Blood group O is known as the universal donor because it lacks A and B antigens, meaning it will not trigger an immune response in any of the other blood groups. - Therefore, a person with blood group O can donate blood to: - Group A (which has anti-B antibodies) - Group B (which has anti-A antibodies) - Group AB (which has no antibodies against A or B) - Group O (which has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies) 5. **Conclusion**: - A person without A and B antigens (blood group O) can give blood to all blood groups: A, B, AB, and O. ### Final Answer: A person without A and B antigens can give blood to **A, B, AB, and O**. ---
