Explanation:

When providing first - aid for severe bleeding, elevating the wound helps reduce blood flow to the area and slow bleeding. Wearing gloves protects the first - aider from blood - borne pathogens. Placing new bandages on top of old ones helps maintain pressure. However, making a victim with severe bleeding sit upright can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and lead to shock. The victim should lie down.

Answer:

A. The victim should sit upright.
