It depends on what you mean by "blood". If you mean Red Blood Cells, it is due to somthing called antigens.
Type O has IgM anti-A antibodies and anti-B antibodies in blood serum, and this would "attack" blood that had A or B antibodies. Since AB has both, it cannot donate to O, and O can only receive O.
With regards to Blood Plasma however, AB can donate to any group, including O.

Can a person with blood type b receive a transfusion of blood types b and ab?
No...someone with a B blood type has anti-A antibodies so the A blood type in the AB blood would cause clotting.
What blood type does a person with Type A get?
I assume you are meaning in a transfusion. The ideal blood should be a perfect match. A positive should get A positive. In an emergency an A positive can receive any blood that has no B genotype. O+/-, A+/-,but NO B or AB.
What is the rarest blood type and is it bad?
O positive is a rare blood type. There are very few complications with this blood type that are known. If a person has O blood type then they can receive any type of blood transfusion.
Can o negative only take blood from o negative?
Yes, O- persons should only receive blood from O- donors. This is because people with Type O blood have antibodies circulating against both A and B red blood cell antigens and Rh- people have antibodies circulating against Rh factors. Therefore, an O- person will have antibodies against all other blood proteins and cannot receive those proteins in a blood transfusion without risking severe and immediate life-threatening medical complications.
What type of blood can a type o person receive?
No, they cannot. A person with O+ blood has a special antigen, or protein, on its extracellular membrane. The person with O- blood will form antibodies to the antigen and attack the O+ red blood cells killing them, this will eventually cause anemia and become a health problem.

Do you have to replace blood if you receive a blood transfusion?
If you receive a blood transfusion, you are under no obligation to "return" (or "donate") any blood to back the blood bank. This is true both before and after receiving a blood transfusion - i.e you do not have to have donated blood previously, before you can have a transfusion. (At least, this is how it works in the UK). Nice to know, really.

A person with type B blood can only receive type B or O because it is said to be compatible and will not clump.
