son4ous [18]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) is the trained responder to treat the injured persons.

A bandage is a material which is used to keep the dressing in its place to control the bleeding but not to interfere with the blood circulation.

Bandages are of many types like Adhesive tapes, Self-adherent, Triangular bandage and other bandages.

Tourniquets are the device used by the professional which could limit the flow of blood but does not stop the circulation. EMT does not use the Tourniquets to treat the wounds.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
