Explanation / Answer

Blood type of the mother: A MM

Blood type of her child: AB MN.

Clearly, the B and the N has to be passed down from the father to the child.

George has blood type O (neither A nor B). Hence, he could not have contributed the B to the child. So George cannot be the father.

Tom has blood type AB MN. He could possibly have contributed the B and the N to the child. He could be the father.

Bill has blood type B MN. He could possibly be the father since he has both the B and the N present in the child.

Claude has blood type A NN. He cannot be the father since he does not have a B which has to be contributed by the father since the mother only has an A.

Henry has blood type AB MM. Henry also cannot be the father since he does not have an N that is necessary for him to be the father.

Could be the father Cannot be the father Tom George Bill Henry Claude.
