Answer 1

Blood group B.

In people with blood group B, the surface of the red blood cells contains B antigen, and the plasma has anti-A antibody. As a result, B positive patients cannot receive blood group A or AB and should receive only blood group B. However, in severe cases, people with blood group B can receive blood from people with group O (universal donors).
