Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Metatron should begin both chest compressions and respiratory breaths. It is dangerous to attempt to provide CPR if you are not specifically trained to, however the question states that he is certified to provide CPR if needed, so once he has called an ambulance, there is no reason he should not provide CPR to the unconscious child.
