Aadminister oxygen
Bimmediately start CPR
Cmake the victim comfortable in a bunk
Dimmediately give a stimulant, by force if necessary
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) immediately start CPR. If someone has suffered a heart attack and has ceased breathing, the immediate priority is to restore breathing and circulation through cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR involves chest compressions and rescue breaths, which can help maintain blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain and other vital organs until more advanced medical care can be provided. Administering oxygen (A) or making the victim comfortable (C) are not appropriate first steps in this emergency situation. Giving a stimulant (D) could be dangerous and is not the recommended response.
