A
Rub the eye area clean.
B
Apply an ice pack to the eye.
C
Flush the eye with plenty of water.
D
Keep the eyelid close.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Flush the eye with plenty of water. This is the proper first aid for LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) in the eye. When exposed to LPG, the eye should be immediately flushed with large amounts of clean, running water for at least 15 minutes. This helps dilute and remove the irritating chemical from the eye, preventing further damage. Rubbing the eye (A) or keeping the eyelid closed (D) are not effective in removing the LPG. Applying an ice pack (B) may provide some relief, but flushing the eye is the primary first aid treatment.
