Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, a patient with blood group A can receive blood from a donor with blood group A (which lacks the B antigen) or blood group O (which lacks all ABO blood group antigens). However, they cannot receive blood from a donor with blood group B or AB (which both have the B antigen).

Detailed explanation-2: -When type B blood is given to a person with type A blood, the B antigen from the donor reacts with anti-B antibody in the recipient. Within the ABO blood group system, individuals naturally produce antibodies against their opposite types. Blood type-A individuals naturally produce anti-B antibodies.
