Answer

Brief Explanations:

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are programmed to follow a specific cycle during a cardiac arrest emergency. After a shock is delivered (or if no shock is advised), the device prompts the responder to perform CPR for two minutes. This two-minute interval corresponds to approximately five cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths. Once this period expires, the AED automatically initiates a re-analysis of the victim's heart rhythm to determine if the heart has returned to a normal rhythm or if a subsequent shock is necessary.

Answer:

B. It will analyze the victim's heart to see if another shock is advised.
