You have been caught in a flash flood and have underestimated the depth of the water and the strength of the current. As you float downstream, you notice a partially submerged tree in the water. Which of the following approaches should you take?
a. Relax your body and let the current carry you.
b. Try to swim over to the tree.
c. See if you can touch your feet on the ground to steady yourself.
d. Try to dive under the tree.

b. Try to swim over to the tree.

Explanation:

In this situation, the safest thing to do is try to swim up to the tree and lean on it. This will prevent you from being carried away by the current or sinking. Relaxing your body and letting the current take you can be very dangerous because it can make you drown, you shouldn't try to set your feet on the ground either, because you don't know how deep it is, there may be something on the ground that hurts you and the current can bring you down. Lastly, you should also not dive under the tree, as you may get stuck, be carried away by the current and drown.
