Answer 1

C. to help the victim survive until emergency care arrives

Step-by-step explanation:

First Aid are emergency techniques that should be applied to victims of sudden illness, accidents, or who are in danger of life. The purpose of these procedures is to maintain vital signs and try to prevent the worsening of the person's condition. These procedures may be done by a single person or may be a collective action, of course, within their due limitations on helping others, until professional help is in place to provide appropriate service.

Accordingly, we can state that the purpose of the first aid "assistance" step is to help the victim survive until emergency care arrives.
