Which among the above is / are correct?

Question

Both statements are correct:

A person with B blood group can receive from B or O blood groups and can donate to those with B or AB Blood Groups: This is correct. A person with blood group B has B antigens on their red blood cells and can receive blood from donors with B or O blood groups. They can also donate blood to individuals with B or AB blood groups because they have both B and Rh antigens.
A person with the \"Bombay Blood group\" can receive blood from a person who also has the same blood group: This is correct. The Bombay Blood group, also known as the h/h blood group or the Oh phenotype, is a rare blood type characterized by the absence of A, B, and Rh antigens on the surface of red blood cells. Individuals with this blood group have antibodies against A, B, and Rh antigens, making it challenging for them to receive blood from individuals with common blood types. They can only receive blood from other individuals with the Bombay Blood group or individuals with rare \"Bombay Blood group\" subtype who lack A, B, and Rh antigens.
