Step-by-step explanation:

as we know a man who has type AB blood could not father a child with type O blood, because he would pass on either the A or the B allele to all of his offspring. Despite their usefulness in this regard, ABO blood groups cannot be used to confirm whether a man is indeed a child's father.

thus, the husband isnt the biological father of the baby.
