Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If you receive blood that is not compatible with your blood, your body produces antibodies to destroy the donor’s blood cells. This process causes the transfusion reaction. Blood that you receive in a transfusion must be compatible with your own blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Types of transfusion reactions include the following: acute hemolytic, delayed hemolytic, febrile non-hemolytic, anaphylactic, simple allergic, septic (bacterial contamination), transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), and transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO).

Detailed explanation-3: -Type II hypersensitivity is typified by a transfusion reaction in which mismatched red blood cells are rapidly destroyed by specific preformed antibodies (anti-ABO or-Rh) and complement.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you have type AB blood, you can get transfusions of O, A, B, or AB red blood cells.
