C
Both
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Agglutination is the process that occurs if an antigen is mixed with its corresponding antibody called isoagglutinin. This term is commonly used in blood grouping. This occurs in biology in two main examples: The clumping of cells such as bacteria or red blood cells in the presence of an antibody or complement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mixing different blood types together can cause agglutination, a process that has been used as a way of determining a person’s blood type. Antigens on the red blood cell surface. Antibodies attach to the antigens on the red blood cell, causing the blood cells to clump together. This leads to agglutination of the blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Agglutination (clumping) of type A red blood cells (RBCs) by anti-A antibodies. The antibodies have two combining sites and are able to attach to the A antigens on adjacent RBCs, thus causing the RBCs to bond together.
