Answer:

e.  creating a bottleneck

Explanation:

Creating a bottleneck is the nearest concept to Gate Control Theory among options of the question

"As a number of factors determine which pain messages are allowed to get through the gate and reach the brain, such as:

    Strength of the pain message

   Competing messages, such as touch or heat

   Brain signals giving high or low priority to the pain message

A key element of the theory is the concept of a gate that allows pain signals to reach the brain when it is open, and blocks the signals when it is closed. When a quick signal from a nerve fiber can close the gate, it can keep the slower messages from getting through, resulting in less pain."

For the patient with breathing problem, first aid can be performed

Firstly Check the person's airway, breathing, and pulse. If necessary, begin CPR.

Loosen any tight clothing.

Help the person use any prescribed medicine (such as an asthma inhaler or home oxygen).

Continue to monitor the person's breathing and pulse until medical help arrives. DO NOT assume that the person's condition is improving if you can no longer hear abnormal breath sounds, such as wheezing.

If there are open wounds in the neck or chest, they must be closed immediately, especially if air bubbles appear in the wound. Bandage such wounds at once.

A "sucking" chest wound allows air to enter the person's chest cavity with each breath. This can cause a collapsed lung. Bandage the wound with plastic wrap, a plastic bag, or gauze pads covered with petroleum jelly, sealing it on three sides, leaving one side unsealed. This creates a valve to prevent air from entering the chest through the wound, while allowing trapped air to escape from the chest through the unsealed side.

Dennis_Churaev [7]
The answer is A. Walking is the ideal work out before a run because it gets your body from sitting mode into workout mode in the least intense way. The motion of walking takes the muscles, tendons, and joints through a range of motion similar to what it will go through in running.
