Correct Answer - C
The ABO blood group system has at least 6 genotypes. On the basis of presence or absence of antigens and antibodies, four blood groups (phenotypes) have been differentiated-A, B, AB and O blood group. In ABO blood group system, inheritance of grouping is controlled by a single autosomal gene on chromosome 9 with three major alleles A, B and O (`I^(A) , I^(B)` and `I^(O)`).
