Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: AB⁺ Blood group – Universal Donor is not correctly matched.
Explanation: AB⁺ individuals are universal recipients because their red blood cells have A, B and Rh antigens, so they can receive blood from any blood group. They are not universal donors; AB⁺ can normally donate only to other AB⁺ recipients. The universal donor is O negative, whose red cells lack A, B and Rh antigens.
DPT – Vaccine: Correct. DPT is a combined vaccine for Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus.
DOTS – Tuberculosis: Correct. DOTS is the Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course program for treating TB.
Adrenaline – Hormone: Correct. Adrenaline (epinephrine) is a hormone (and neurotransmitter) produced by the adrenal medulla.
