Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Unconscious and lying on his back..
According to the ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) priority, an unconscious patient on their back is at immediate risk of airway obstruction (tongue or secretions). Stabilizing the airway takes precedence over other non-life-threatening injuries.
