Solution

The correct answer is C. flush that part of the skin with a lot of water. In the event of an acid splash in the laboratory, the immediate first aid response should be to flush the affected area with a lot of water to dilute and wash away the acid. This should be done for at least 15 minutes. While getting medical help is important (option B), it is not the immediate first step. Using the first aid box (option A) may be helpful depending on its contents, but it is not the primary response. Therefore, option D is not correct because it includes options A and B.
