(a) you should hold the baby above the level of the mother when cutting the cord.(b) the cord should be cut immediately following delivery.(c) you must try to cut the cord before it stops pulsating.(d) the infant must be breathing on his or her own before you cut the cord.

Option A  

Explanation:

Once the delivery is done and the baby is dried and wrapped in a blanket and it is being prepared for the cutting of umbilical cord then it should be kept above the level of the mother.

This is done sop that the baby gets the maximum blood reaches the baby and the mother should be protected from extra blood loss.

This can be a fatal condition for the mother as huge blood loss can occur.

the plates spread at mid-ocean ridges (they are divergent plate boundaries) which allows magma to rise through the weakness between the plates. the magma then emerges as lava from the boundary and cools, creating a new crust.
