O blood type can only receive O blood type because in genetic, O is has recessive alleles while other types of blood has codominant alleles.

A recessive alleles cannot combine with dominant or codominant allels.

So if a person who has blood type O receive the other types of blood besides O, the blood cells within that person is going to repel each other. The worst situation, the person can die.
