AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) preserve present body heat. When a person is in shock, their body is trying to conserve its remaining vital functions. Wrapping the victim in warm coverings helps to retain their existing body heat, which is essential for maintaining their core temperature and preventing further deterioration of their condition. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly address the primary goal of preserving the person's body heat during shock.
