Solution

The correct option is D AB and B
The blood group of the progeny will be AB if the father has a genotype IAIA. In such a case the allele IB is inherited from the mother and IA from the father and the resulting blood group is AB. Or it can be B if the father has a genotype of IAIO. In such a case if the allele IO is inherited from the father and IB from the mother then the resulting progeny will have blood group B with genotype IBIO. So, the correct option is 'AB and B'.
