Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In a situation where a teen collapses and you are alone, the first priority is to get professional help and access to an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) as soon as possible. Calling 911 (or local emergency number) initiates emergency response, and getting an AED is crucial for possible cardiac - related collapse. Starting chest compressions immediately might be premature without first ensuring emergency services are on the way (especially when alone), waiting for someone else is not proactive, and checking for breathing first without calling for help delays getting professional assistance.

Answer:

A. Call 911 and get an AED
