D Correct answer
Explanation

When blood supply to the brain is completely interrupted (as in cardiac arrest), unconsciousness typically occurs within 8-10 seconds due to the rapid depletion of oxygen in cerebral tissues. The brain has minimal oxygen reserves and cannot sustain consciousness without continuous blood flow. Earlier timeframes (2-6 seconds) are too brief for complete oxygen depletion.
