D) Use a stick to bang on a tree trunk

Answer: C) Blow a signal whistle. 

The whistle is designed to produce a sound that will carry a long distance without much effort on your part. Yelling help or screaming will exhaust you quickly, and the sound of your voice may make you feel more scared. Banging a stick against a tree to make noise would be better than nothing, if you had no whistle.
