Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When a pregnant woman is in cardiac arrest (unresponsive, not breathing, no pulse), the next step after activating the emergency response system is to begin chest compressions. Manual displacement of the fundus or placing a cushion under the hip (while relevant in some pregnancy - related care) is not the immediate next step in a cardiac arrest situation. Turning the victim onto her left side is also not the appropriate immediate action for cardiac arrest. According to the Basic Life Support (BLS) guidelines, chest compressions are a crucial part of resuscitation efforts.

Answer:

Begin chest compressions
