B
nothing. The body only recognizes antubodies
C
the recipient’s blood will attact the donor’s blood
D
the recipient will develop blood cancer and likely die
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -That means that if this person is given either type B red blood cells or type AB red blood cells, his or her antibodies will attack and destroy the foreign red cells possessing the B antigen, causing a transfusion reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blood transfusions between incompatible groups (such as A+ to O-) cause an immune response. This can lead to a serious transfusion reaction. The immune system attacks the donated blood cells, causing them to burst. Today, all blood is carefully screened.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a person with type A receives type B blood, or vice versa, these molecules, called blood antigens, can cause the immune system to mount a deadly attack on the red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood received in a transfusion must have the same antigens as yours (compatible blood). If you get a transfusion that has different antigens (incompatible blood), the antibodies in your plasma will destroy the donor blood cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -They attack and rapidly destroy red cells carrying the corresponding antigen. For example, anti-A attacks red cells of Group A or AB. Anti-B attacks red cells of Group B or AB. If ABO incompatible red cells are transfused, red cell haemolysis can occur.
