Hello!

Most teachers and sources recommend students who have been exposed to chemical to flush or wash the exposed area for about 15 to 20 minutes. In this case, Ora took 10 minutes instead of 15 to 20 minutes. So therefore, the answer is C, she should have washed her eyes for at least fifteen minutes.
