Answer: D
The most immediate concern is to lower the victim's temperature.
The passage says heat stroke is 'an immediate life-threatening situation' in which the body temperature may reach 106 degrees F, and that first-aid measures 'should be directed at quickly cooling the body', by a tub of cold water or repeated sponging with cool water.
Salt water (A) and raising the feet (B) are treatments given for heat exhaustion, the milder condition. The pulse (C) is a rapid one in heat stroke, but it is a symptom, not something to be lowered directly: it settles as the body is cooled.
