Correct answer: A — High-flow oxygen by non-rebreather mask
Carbon monoxide poisoning can give falsely reassuring pulse oximetry readings, so high-flow oxygen is indicated when exposure and symptoms fit. Salbutamol may help bronchospasm but is not an antidote. Confusion is a concerning feature requiring assessment and possible hyperbaric advice.
