Correct Answer

(A) both \(A\) and \(B\) antigens on \(RBC\) but no antibodies in the plasma

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) : Individuals with \(AB\) blood group have both antigen \(A\) and \(B\) on their \(RBCs\), and no antibodies for either of the antigen in their plasma. Type \(O\) individuals are without \(A\) and \(B\) antigens on their \(RBCs\), but have antibodies for both these antigens in their plasma.
