Which blood group transfusion can be made without risk?
Correct answer: D. Group B to Group AB
- A. Group A to Group B
- B. Group AB to Group O
- C. Group A to Group O
- D. Group B to Group AB
Explanation
Blood transfusions must be compatible, meaning donor blood antigens should not react with recipient blood antibodies. Group AB individuals are universal recipients because they lack antibodies against A and B antigens. Therefore, Group B blood can be safely transfused to Group AB recipients. In contrast, Group A to Group B, Group AB to Group O, and Group A to Group O transfusions all involve antigen-antibody reactions that cause incompatibility and risk.

Questions compare pressure and blood flow in each vessel and distinguish pulmonary vessels, which carry blood to and from the lungs, from systemic vessels.
