Answer:

a. individuals with type AB blood can only receive a transfusion of type AB blood

Explanation:

Type AB blood can receive transfusion from all the other blood types (A, B, AB and O). This is why, it is considered to be the universal recipient. Thus, this makes choice a false.

On the contrary, the universal donor among the blood types is type O blood. This means that a person with this type of blood can donate to all types of blood because it is compatible. However, it can only receive transfusion from the same blood type O.
