Ans. (b) By giving anti-D (Rh-D) to the mother
Sol. Rh incompatibility occurs when an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive baby. To prevent the mother from developing antibodies against Rh-positive blood, anti-D immunoglobulin is given to the mother after delivery (or in certain conditions during pregnancy).
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Giving anti-D to the baby is not effective.
· (b) Correct. Anti-D should be administered to the mother to prevent sensitization.
· (c) Blood transfusion is only needed in severe fetal anemia, not for prevention.
