D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Universal donors are those with an O negative blood type. Why? O negative blood can be used in transfusions for any blood type.

Detailed explanation-2: -O positive red blood cells are not universally compatible to all types, but they are compatible to any red blood cells that are positive (A+, B+, O+, AB+). Over 80% of the population has a positive blood type and can receive O positive blood. That’s another reason it’s in such high demand.

Detailed explanation-3: -People with type O-blood are called universal donors because their donated red blood cells have no A, B or Rh antigens and can therefore be safely given to people of any blood group.

Detailed explanation-4: -Type O-Negative donors are universal donors. This means that their red blood cells can be transfused to any patient, regardless of the recipient’s blood type.
