Explanation:

When an infant is conscious and gagging (indicating possible choking), the recommended first - aid is to give 5 back slaps followed by 5 chest thrusts. Chest compressions are for cardiac arrest, giving breaths is for rescue breathing in non - choking situations, and waiting is not appropriate as it may delay necessary intervention.

Answer:

D. Give 5 back slaps followed by 5 chest thrusts
