Answer:

D) Do CPR until the medical personell has arrived

Explanation:

It is best to continue life supporting efforts in the off chance that there is something that can be done or that there has been some human error in your assessment.  It is also practical to remove the child from the mother in case there was some harm done to the child. Doing CPR will keep the situation under control rather than telling the mother that the child is dead since you are not a medical doctor and it is not within your limits to do so while help is on the way.
