A person with blood group O must have the genotype ii. This means they must inherit one i allele from the father and one i allele from the mother.
Father: IAIA and Mother: IAi. The father can only pass the IA allele to the offspring. Since the offspring cannot receive an i allele from the father, it is impossible for them to have the ii genotype (Blood group O).
In option (B), both parents carry the i allele, allowing for an ii offspring. In option (C), both parents carry i, allowing for ii. In option (D), both parents carry i, allowing for ii. Therefore, these combinations can produce a child with blood group O.
Final Answer: A
