Receiving the wrong type of blood can lead to a dangerous reaction called agglutination. When this happens, the person`s red blood cells (RBCs) clump together, causing blockages in blood vessels. This can result in reduced blood flow and oxygen delivery to vital organs.

Option 1, which suggests that all the arteries constrict, is not correct. While some reactions to receiving incompatible blood can cause blood vessels to constrict, this is not a universal response.

Option 2, which suggests that all the arteries dilate, is also incorrect. Dilating blood vessels is not a typical response to receiving the wrong type of blood.

Option 4, which suggests that the spleen and lymph nodes deteriorate, is also incorrect. While the immune system may be affected in some cases, deterioration of these specific organs is not a direct consequence.

In summary, option 3 is the correct answer as the recipient`s RBCs will agglutinate when receiving the wrong type of blood.
