Adeila blood type has A antigen and anti B antibodies.

Explanation:

Four major type of human blood are A, B, AB and O. The presence of sugar on the surface of RBC determines the type of blood group. N-acetylglucosamine sugar is present on the individual with A type blood group and galactose sugar is present on the surface of RBC on the individual with type B blood group. The AB individual contains both sugar residue and no sugar residue is present on type blood group O.

No antibodies are present on her blood and both A and B antigen are present in her blood group. Adiela has blood group A+ and can donate to AB individual as she carries the A antigen on her blood cell surface.
