Answer: The answer is C. Thrusts into the abdomen

Explanation: When a child is choking, it means an object is stuck in the trachea of that child. To help that child, wrap your arms around the child's waist above belly button while backing you and then pull inward and upward; thrusting up to five times. This will help to

squeeze the air out of the lungs and may dislodge the objects.

Also, you can give up to five blows at the back in between the shoulder blades. This help to create a strong vibration and pressure in the airway and consequently, dislodge the object.
