Answer (2)

In situations where a victim fears for their safety and cannot remain on the phone, they should be advised to place the phone down or in a pocket while keeping the line open.

In emergency situations, if a victim fears for their safety and cannot stay on the line, they should place the phone down or in a pocket while keeping the line open (option C). This allows the telecommunicator to continue to gather essential information without provoking the suspect. Maintaining an open line of communication is crucial for the victim's safety and effective emergency response.
