Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
People with type A blood have anti-B antibodies. This is because the immune system produces antibodies against the antigens that the person's blood cells do not have. Since type A blood has A antigens, it will not have A antibodies but will have B antibodies against the B antigens it lacks.
