What should you do if you become lost in the woods?

Keep moving until you find your way out
Start a fire for rescue signals
Stay put and make yourself visible
Try to find food and water immediately

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

When lost in the woods, it is important to stay put and make yourself visible. Option A, continuously moving, can lead to getting even more lost and increase the risk of an accident. Starting a fire for rescue signals, option B, is only necessary if rescue services are nearby and you have the materials and knowledge to start a fire safely. Option D, looking for food and water immediately, can cause you to lose valuable time and energy while you may not have adequate resources to safely find food and water in the wilderness. Therefore, staying put and making yourself visible, option C, is the safest and most effective course of action when lost in the woods.
