Answer: Two hands on the center of the chest.

Explanation:

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency technique which include chest compressions along with an artificial ventilation to maintain preserved brain function manually before further action is taken to restore normal blood supply and breathing in a heart arrested individual.

Chest compressions will be provided if there is no pulse along with ventilations at a rate of 30:2 and the two hands will be placed on the center of the chest.
