Correct answer
The head-neck-torso together, minimising movement without forcing the position.
The head-neck-torso together, minimising neck movement and keeping alignment without forcing it. Holding only the head while ignoring the rest of the body is insufficient. Normally do not move or transport the casualty yourself: activate 112 and wait for professionals unless immediate danger or vital needs make action essential. Airway and breathing take priority; immobilisation must not prevent a life-saving action.
