Answer 1

If someone is choking, the correct emergency response is the **Heimlich maneuver** (also known as abdominal thrusts). This technique is designed to help dislodge an object blocking the airway. If the person is unable to breathe, cough, or speak, the Heimlich maneuver can be an effective way to help them.

Keep in mind that if the person becomes unconscious, you should then call for emergency help and start CPR if necessary.

So the correct response is:

**Heimlich maneuver**
