A man whose blood group is not known meet with a serious accident and needs blood transfusion immediately. Which one of the blood group mentioned below and readily available in the hospital will be safe for transfusion?
A
O, Rh<sup>-</sup>
B
O, Rh<sup>+</sup>
C
AB, Rh<sup>-</sup>
D
AB, Rh<sup>+</sup>
Correct Answer: O, Rh<sup>-</sup>
Donors with blood group O, Rh- can donate to recipients with blood types A, B, AB and O (O is the universal donor), because it does not have any antigen, thereby no reaction would occur with the antibody, which may be present in donor's body. Hence, option A is correct.
