b. one pad below the right collarbone and one on the left side of the chest

Explanation:

To determine the correct placement of AED pads, we recall the standard procedure: one pad is placed below the right collarbone (upper right chest) and the other on the left side of the chest (lower left, below the armpit area). Option a is incorrect as both on the left is wrong. Option c is wrong as both below collarbone isn't standard. Option d is incorrect as one on abdomen is not the standard placement.

b. One pad below the right collarbone and one on the left side of the chest
