Explanation
The correct answer is b. DRAI - Child Donor < 12 years old (F-CC-19 Rev 1) & Addendum to the Uniform DRAI. This is because the potential donor is an 8-year-old child, and therefore the DRAI specifically designed for child donors under 12 years old should be completed.

The Child Donor DRAI is relevant because the child is under 12 years old, and the Birth Mother DRAI is relevant because the child was still being breastfed.

Therefore, the DRAI for donors older than 12 years old should be completed. Additionally, the Addendum to the Uniform DRAI (F-CC-21) should also be completed as it provides additional information and assessment specific to cardiac ICU patients.
