Correct Answer

Explanation

Blood group B is characterized by the presence of B antigen in the red blood cells. This antigen is responsible for the B blood group and is absent in the A blood group. The B antigen is a complex carbohydrate that is found on the surface of red blood cells. The immune system recognizes this antigen as foreign, and individuals with blood group B produce antibodies against the A antigen. This is why blood transfusions must be carefully matched to ensure that the recipient does not have an adverse immune reaction to the donor blood.
