Final answer:

The correct answer is b) Arthur Holmwood, Dr. Seward, Dr. Van Helsing, and Quincey Morris. The characters Mina and Jonathan Harker did not donate blood to Lucy. Additional information explains blood donation compatibility, the D antigen's blood system, and hemolytic disease in newborns.

Step-by-step explanation:

The four characters who donate blood to Lucy through transfusions in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula are Arthur Holmwood, Dr. Seward, Dr. Van Helsing, and Quincey Morris. Therefore, the correct answer is b) Arthur Holmwood, Dr. Seward, Dr. Van Helsing, and Quincey Morris: True. Mina Harker and Jonathan Harker do not donate blood to Lucy, thus all options including them are False.

Concerning the additional information, a man can donate blood to his wife if their blood types are compatible. The D antigen is not part of the ABO blood group system; rather, it is part of the Rh blood group system. Hemolytic disease of the newborn is more likely in a second pregnancy because the mother's immune system might already be sensitized to the Rh antigens of the fetus from the first pregnancy and can more readily produce antibodies that attack the red blood cells of the second Rh-positive fetus.
