D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anyone who’s taken a CPR class has heard that The Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” is the perfect song for hitting the 100-120 beats per minute required for ideal chest compressions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hands-Only CPR reduces the emergency procedure to 2 simple steps: Call 911 (or ask someone to make the call for you). Push hard and fast in the center of the chest with a rhythm of 100 beats per minute. Remember: Stayin’ Alive!

Detailed explanation-3: -Place the heel of your hand on the centre of the person’s chest, then place the palm of your other hand on top and press down by 5 to 6cm (2 to 2.5 inches) at a steady rate of 100 to 120 compressions a minute. After every 30 chest compressions, give 2 rescue breaths.
