O blood group is universal donor because the blood has

  • A.Antigen A
  • B.Antigen B
  • C.Both antigens A and B
  • D.No antigens

Answer: D

Correct answer: No antigens

Group O red cells carry neither A nor B antigen, so there is nothing on them for an anti-A or anti-B antibody in the recipient to attack - which is why O is the universal donor. The recipient’s own group does not matter for the same reason. (O plasma does carry both antibodies, which is why O is not a universal plasma donor.)
