The correct answer is D) Inject Morphine to ease pain immediately. Morphine is a pain medication and is not a method used in standard first aid to stop bleeding. Its administration requires medical training and specific authorization.
Standard first aid techniques for severe bleeding focus on applying pressure to the wound to help blood clot and stem the flow. Direct pressure, elevation of the injured limb (if possible and not contraindicated), and the use of pressure bandages are recognized and effective first aid measures for controlling bleeding.
