The correct answer is A. A person of blood group AB can donate blood only to another person of blood group AB

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.

 Donors with blood type AB can donate to recipients with blood type AB only.
