AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) moved to a cool room and told to lie down. The reason this is the correct answer is that the proper treatment for heat exhaustion is to get the person out of the heat, into a cool environment, and have them rest in a lying down position. This allows the body to cool down and helps prevent further heat-related illness. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not provide the necessary steps to properly treat heat exhaustion.
