C
A, B and Rh
D
None
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -blood group O – has no antigens, but both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma.

Detailed explanation-2: -O positive. This blood type doesn’t have A or B markers, but it does have Rh factor. O positive blood is one of the two most common blood types (the other being A positive).

Detailed explanation-3: -There are 5 main Rh antigens on red cells – C, c, D, E, e. The most important of these is the Rh D. Having the D antigen on the red cell gives you the positive (+) and lacking it gives you the negative (-) after the letter A, B, AB or O.

Detailed explanation-4: -Type O negative blood is the only blood type with no antigens. Blood type A has an A antigen, while blood type B has a B antigen. Blood type AB has both A and B antigens. Blood type O has neither.

Detailed explanation-5: -O negative blood is missing both the A antigen and the B antigen and does not contain the protein for Rh positive blood. This means that it’s missing those things that could cause a bad reaction during a blood transfusion and can be given to any blood type.
