Persons with "AB" blood group are called as "Universal recipients". This is due to:

  1. A
    Presence of antibodies, anti-A and anti-B, on RBCs
  2. B
    Absence of antibodies, anti-A and anti-B, in plasma
  3. C
    Absence of antigens A and B on the surface of RBCs
  4. D
    Absence of antigens A and B in plasma

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Blood group AB has both A and B antigens on the surface of the RBCs but no antibodies (anti-A or anti-B) in the plasma. Because they lack these antibodies, they can receive blood from any group (A, B, AB, or O) without an immune reaction.
