Solution
Agglutination is the process where the antibodies bind to specific antigens and produce large insoluble complexes, which render them harmless and facilitate their destruction by other immune system cells. RBC carries specific antigens like antigen A, B, or AB on their cell surface and during blood grouping, the added antibodies bind to them and agglutinate.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
