Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

A spinal injury should not be mobilized because it can make the situation more worse. A spinal victim who is inside water should be float and bring to the shore and then put on the spine board.

A spine board is a boards which is used to keep the spines in position and it does not allows the movement of the body which protects the spine from being further damage.

The person in water should not be left there in water and should also be handled with utmost care .
