Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: B) Until the heart starts beating or the rescuer is unable to continue because of fatigue.
Resuscitation efforts must continue until the casualty regains spontaneous circulation, a medical professional declares them dead, or the rescuer becomes physically exhausted. Premature cessation based on time or visual appearance alone is not permitted.
