Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a person has type A blood, who can they get a blood transfusion from?
A
A, O
B
A, AB
C
B, O
D
Only O
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because your blood contains the A marker, it makes B antibodies. If B markers (found in type B or type AB blood) enter your body, your type A immune system gets fired up against them. This means that you can only get a transfusion from someone with A or O blood, not from someone with B or AB blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Those with O positive blood can only receive transfusions from O positive or O negative blood types.

Detailed explanation-3: -While those with O negative are universal blood donors, the blood they can receive when it comes to transfusions is far from universal. If you have O negative blood, the only blood type you can receive is O negative.
