A
B-
B
O+
C
AB+
D
AB-
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -People with type AB+ blood are universal recipients because they have no antibodies to A, B or Rh in their blood and can receive red blood cells from a donor of any blood type. Plasma transfusions are matched to avoid A and B antibodies in the transfused plasma that will attack the recipient’s red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Donors who are AB+ are called the universal plasma donor because this component can be transfused into any patient, regardless of the recipient’s blood type. In addition to your plasma, platelets from AB+ donors are also compatible with several other blood types, making them in high demand by local hospitals.
