Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: When the vehicle is stopped..
Movement during defibrillation can cause artifacts and trigger false readings or impede the device's ability to analyze the rhythm correctly. For safety and accuracy, the vehicle must be brought to a complete stop before a shock is delivered.
