Choice A rationale:

Administering oxygen and mechanical ventilation. This is correct. Supportive care for EVD may involve managing respiratory symptoms, including providing oxygen and mechanical ventilation if necessary.

Providing psychological support and counseling. This is correct. EVD can be emotionally distressing for patients. Providing psychological support and counseling can help patients cope with the illness and its effects.

Performing blood transfusions and clotting factor administration. While EVD can lead to clotting abnormalities, routine blood transfusions and clotting factor administration are not standard treatments for the disease.
