  • A. Acetylcholine

Explanation

When CPR does not generate coronary perfusion of more than 15-20 mmHg, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rarely or never occurs. After more than a few minutes of cardiac arrest, arterial tone collapses, and epinephrine or another vasoconstrictor is essential for restoration of cardiac activity.
