Answer
A
Lilah should have her arms wrapped around Cole’s waist.
B
Lilah should have Cole face down over her leg.
C
Lilah should be using just two fingers to tap on Cole.
D
Lilah should have Cole lying on the floor.

Explanation

For a choking infant, place the baby face down along your forearm or across your thigh, with the head lower than the chest, and give firm back blows. Having Cole face down over Lilah’s leg would put him in the correct position; holding him upright for abdominal thrusts is not appropriate for an infant.
