Explanation:

When someone collapses and is gasping for air (a sign of cardiac arrest or severe respiratory distress), hands - only CPR is recommended as an initial response. Waiting (option a) is not advisable as immediate action can be life - saving. Mouth - to - mouth only (option c) is not the standard initial approach now, and an AED (option d) is used after assessing the situation and when available, but the first step is hands - only CPR.

b. Begin hands - only CPR
