    E (All blood types are possible)

    Explanation:

    The ABO blood group system in humans is a vivid example of co-dominance, where blood type A and B are codominant but are both dominant over blood type O.

    Based on this genetic scenario, A codominant blood type AB can be produced, Blood type A can possess AA and AO, Blood type B can possess BB and BO, while Blood type O can only possess OO.

    Hence, in a cross between a type A individual - AO or AA and a type B individual - BO and BB, gametes will be produced according to Mendel's law of segregation.

    AO, AA (Type A) = A and O gametes.

    BO, BB (Type B) = B and O gametes.

    Hence, from the combination of these gametes, their offsprings can possess AB, AO, BO, OO which covers all the blood types.

    Therefore, all blood types are possible
