I know it's either C or D.

@EclipsedStar Yes, it would have to be B type, let me check my notes,

eclipsedstar · Answer

Oh ok. :)

alphadxg · Answer

@EclipsedStar Ok, I can't find my notes, but we can use rationality here. I think the "-" and "+" refers to the rh factor which is just another type of antigen.

alphadxg · Answer

@EclipsedStar I think that AB designated either "+" or "-" and Type O also represented the other type.

I think AB is a plasma donor so it would be "+"

alphadxg · Answer

I would say C. B+

because AB would be a plasma donor and since antibody A was in the plasma that's what I would go with.
