A4
B8
C12
D20
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 12 breaths per minute. According to the guidelines set by the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association for adult CPR, the recommended rate for rescue breathing is 12 breaths per minute. This rate is designed to provide the optimal amount of oxygen to the victim while minimizing the risk of over-ventilation. The other answer choices are incorrect because 4 breaths per minute is too low, 8 breaths per minute is also too low, and 20 breaths per minute is too high and can potentially cause harm to the victim.
