please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

To respond to a sports injury, the first priority is to eliminate the source of danger (the factor that caused the injury) to prevent further harm. Option B is for airway assessment in emergencies like cardiac arrest, not the first step for all sports injuries. Option C is CPR, which is not the first step for most sports injuries. Option D (asking to stop playing) is not the first step; removing the danger (e.g., moving from a hazardous field, stopping a faulty equipment use) is more critical initially.

Answer:

A. remove the danger that lead to the injury
