I think the correct answer of these options would be to ask permission and give chest thrust.

Answer:

Ask permission and give chest thrusts

Explanation:

When a person is choking, we must applied the Heimlich maneuver, which consist to apply pressure, in the stomach zone. However, in case of a pregnant women, we use the technique by pressing hard into the chest, with a quick thrust. The pressure zone must be upper than a normal person. Pregnant women and obese people need to apply the technique in an upper points.

Therefore, the right answer is the third one.
