For a minor burn (first-degree, like a sunburn or brief contact with a hot object without blistering), what is the most appropriate immediate first aid action?

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

For minor burns, cooling the area with cool (not cold or icy) running water for 10-20 minutes helps to reduce pain, swelling, and further tissue damage. Ice can cause frostbite and further damage, while butter or oil can trap heat and increase infection risk. Blisters should not be punctured as they protect against infection.
