The correct answer is **b) If the person's condition does not improve within 5 minutes**.
If a person experiencing anaphylaxis does not show improvement after the first dose of epinephrine, a second dose may be administered after 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the specific protocols or guidelines you are following. It's also essential to call emergency services immediately when anaphylaxis is suspected.
