A football player complains of severe neck pain and tingling in his arms and legs after being tackled. He is conscious and alert, has a patent airway, and is breathing adequately. He is in a supine position and is still wearing his helmet, which is tight-fitting. The MOST appropriate treatment for this patient includes:

A: manually stabilizing his head, leaving his helmet on, applying a vest-style spinal immobilization device, placing him onto a long backboard, and restricting spinal motion with straps and a lateral head stabilizer. B: manually stabilizing his head with his helmet still on, removing the face mask, administering high-flow oxygen, placing him onto a long backboard, and restricting spinal motion with straps and a lateral head stabilizer. C: manually stabilizing his head, carefully removing his helmet, administering high-flow oxygen, applying a cervical collar, placing him onto a long backboard, and restricting spinal motion with straps and a lateral head stabilizer. D: carefully removing his helmet, manually stabilizing his head, applying a cervical collar, administering high-flow oxygen, placing him onto a long backboard, and restricting spinal motion with straps and a lateral head stabilizer.
