Answer:
a) ascend using my buddy's alternate air source / make a controlled emergency swimming ascent
Explanation:
Since I have exhausted my own air source, my buddy's alternate air source will be the only saver if he is close by. Controlled emergency swimming accent is used if the swimmer's buddy is far but the swimmer is close to the surface. Buoyant emergency ascent can only be used if the swimmer is deep away from the surface and needs to make it to the surface.
