The mother have blood group B, it should be heterozygous B because the child have O group.

And father can be blood group A, it also should be heterozygous A.

**

** genotype male and female parent.

So here in this case there is 1/4 probability to get a child with O group.

And if the father is homozygous A, then there is no possibility to get O blood group for progeny.

So he might not be the parent of child.

[That is the possibilities of progenies from heterozygous B and homozygous A are
