When a friend threatens immediate suicide, the most important priority is to ensure their safety. In such a situation, the best course of action is:
a. **Call 911 or take the friend to the emergency room.**
This is the most immediate and effective response as it provides professional help and intervention right away.
While the other options (b, c, d) may also be helpful in certain contexts, they are not immediate actions that directly address the threat to the friend’s life. It's critical to involve emergency services when someone is in imminent danger.
