choose the correct answer
check the victim for identification
activate the emergency response system and get the aed
question bystanders to determine what happened
provide breaths while you begin compressions

Explanation:

When an adult victim is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no pulse, activating the emergency response system and getting the AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is crucial. Checking for identification or questioning bystanders wastes precious time. In CPR, compressions should start immediately (not providing breaths first as per modern guidelines - compressions are prioritized).

Answer:

Activate the emergency response system and get the AED.
