Your blood type is the same as the type of ____ you have on the surface of your red blood cell
A
antigen
B
antibody
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood group antigens are found on the surface of red blood cells and are ignored by the immune system. But antigens of another blood type will be seen as foreign, and attacked by antibodies. Antibodies are produced by white blood cells and used by the immune system to identify and attack foreign substances in the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, people with type A blood will have the A antigen on the surface of their red cells (as shown in the table below). As a result, anti-A antibodies will not be produced by them because they would cause the destruction of their own blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -AB has both A and B antigens on red blood cells.
