A
A
B
B
C
AB
D
O
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types. If one parent has A and another has AB, they can either produce a child with A, B or AB blood types. If one parent has A and another has O, they can either produce a child with A or O blood types.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the father’s blood group is O, he has the genotype IOIO or (ii) . The mother has blood type AB, which means that her genotype would be IAIB. The possible combinations of these two groups would result in children having genotypes IAIO or IBIO, which would give them blood groups A or B respectively.

Detailed explanation-3: -Believe it or not, in this case having a blood type different from either parent is by far the most common result. In most cases, an O parent and an AB parent will have only A or B kids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two O’s make O blood type and an A and a B make AB.
