None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Two parents with A blood type can produce a child with either A or O blood types. Two parents with B blood type can produce a child with either B or O blood type. One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types.
Detailed explanation-2: -But it is technically possible for two O-type parents to have a child with A or B blood, and maybe even AB (although this is even more unlikely). In fact, a child can get almost any kind of blood type if you consider the rule-breaking exceptions.
Detailed explanation-3: -If one parent has A and another has O, they can either produce a child with A or O blood types.
Detailed explanation-4: -A child from parents with blood group ‘A’ and ‘B’ can have blood group O. If genotype of one parent is IAI and that of another parent is IBI; then gametes from the parents can have any one of the genotypes, i.e. IA or IB or I.
