Detailed Solution

Person with blood group AB has both antigens on RBC’s but no antibodies in plasma. AB Blood Group is known as universal recipient.
Person with blood group "O" neither has antigen A nor antigen B on their RBC’s but have both Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies in plasma.

While transfusing blood, the type/types of antigens of the donor and the type / types of antibodies of the recipient are to be taken into consideration.
