Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Less than 1% of the U.S. population have AB negative blood, making it the least common blood type among Americans. Patients with AB negative blood type can receive red blood cells from all negative blood types.

Detailed explanation-2: -So what makes AB+ different from the other blood types? AB+ blood has both A and B antigens at the surface of the red blood cells, while other blood groups (A and B) only have one, or lack them altogether (group O). Because of this unique combination, AB+ donors’ blood can only be given to others with AB+ blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to data from the Stanford School of Medicine Blood Center, AB-blood is the rarest type in the United States. Just 0.6% of people in the U.S. have this blood type. The prevalence of the other common blood types in the U.S. is as follows: O+: 37.4%
