Answer: A
Blood group specific antigens are found on the surface of erythrocytes.
The ABO and Rh blood groups are defined by antigens on the red cell membrane. In the ABO system they are carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids: A antigen on group A cells, B on group B cells, both on AB, and neither on O. Matching these red-cell antigens is the basis of blood transfusion and of blood grouping of stains in forensic serology.
Leucocytes carry the HLA antigens used in tissue typing, which are a different system. Platelets (thrombocytes) and neutrophils (a type of leucocyte) carry their own antigens, but blood groups in the usual sense are red-cell antigens.
