A person with no antigens and no Rh factor have what blood type?
A
AB-
B
AB+
C
O-
D
O+
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -blood group O – has no antigens, but both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma. blood group AB – has both A and B antigens, but no antibodies.

Detailed explanation-2: -Type O negative blood is the only blood type with no antigens. Blood type A has an A antigen, while blood type B has a B antigen. Blood type AB has both A and B antigens. Blood type O has neither.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, there are eight possible blood types: O negative. This blood type doesn’t have A or B markers, and it doesn’t have Rh factor.

Detailed explanation-4: -A person with the Rh positive factor will not make anti-Rh antibodies. Those with Rh negative factor will produce the antibodies. Therefore, someone with Rh+ blood can receive both Rh+ and Rh-transfusions, but those with Rh-can only receive Rh-blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -Their bodies do not recognize the blood antigens because they are not found on their own blood cells and so they will produce antibodies to attack these blood antigens. Therefore, someone with type O-blood will produce anti-A antibodies, anti-B antibodies, and anti-Rh antibodies, meaning the answer is C).
