Correct answer: A. A and B only

The man's blood shows agglutination with both anti-A and anti-B sera, indicating the presence of both A and B antigens. His blood group is AB, and his genotype is

I^{A}I^{B}

.

The woman's blood shows no agglutination with either sera, indicating the absence of both A and B antigens. Her blood group is O, and her genotype is

ii

.

A cross between the man (

I^{A}I^{B}

) and the woman (

ii

) produces gametes

I^{A}

and

I^{B}

from the man, and

i

from the woman.

The possible genotypes of their biological children are

I^{A}i

and

I^{B}i

.

Thus, only genotypes A and B are possible.
