A couple requests blood typing of their 2-year-old child (father AB, Rh-negative; mother B, Rh-negative). Results of
hemagglutination assays of the child’s blood are as follows: (+ = hemagglutination; – = no hemagglutination)
Saline plus child’s RBC –
Anti A plus child’s RBC –
Anti B plus child’s RBC +
Anti D plus child’s RBC -
Child’s serum plus type A RBC +
Child’s serum plus type B RBC –
Child’s serum plus type D RBC –

Which of the following conclusions concerning the child’s parentage is valid?

(A) The child could be the natural offspring of this couple
(B) The mother could be the natural mother, but the father could not be the natural father
(C) The father could be the natural father, but the mother could not be the natural mother
(D) Neither the father nor the mother could be the natural parents

Yep, I'd agree with ssrpk. Even if the couple request blood typing, if the result is consistent with both mother and father being natural parents you should assume they are?
