Answer:A.Begin chest compressions

Explaination:The chest should fall before the next ventilation is given if unconscious but breathing, place in a recovery position. If unconscious and no breathing but there is a pulse, continue giving ventilations. If unconscious and no breathing or pulse, begin CPR.

I believe this would be A.

After checking that the infant isn't breathing after giving two ventilations the best way is to check if there is a pulse then after start to do chest compressions.
