The correct option is **d) The person is experiencing complete choking**.
When a person is coughing and clutching their throat, it often indicates that they may be experiencing a blockage in their airway, which can lead to choking. If they are unable to speak, breathe, or cough effectively, it suggests that they could be in a state of complete choking, and immediate action is required. If you're unsure about their condition or if they cannot breathe at all, it's always prudent to call EMS/9-1-1 for assistance.
