During placenta delivery in a natural birth, which action is appropriate?

Explanation:
Placenta delivery in a natural birth is best managed by letting it come out on its own and guiding it gently as it does. Do not pull on the cord; applying traction can disrupt the placenta, cause tearing, or lead to uterine inversion, increasing bleeding risk. The focus is on supportive care and watching for continued natural progression of delivery. The other options aren’t appropriate in this scenario: moving the vehicle is irrelevant to the birth process, and placing the mother on a bedpan isn’t necessary for placenta delivery.
