BUD/S training classes are very limited, with only about four classes convening each calendar year. Each class normally convenes with 150 or more men. Training lasts for 28 weeks, and the attrition rate is usually between 65% and 80%. While successful completion of BUD/S training is an absolute prerequisite to becoming a US Navy SEAL, graduation from BUD/S does not automatically qualify a man as a SEAL. Those who voluntarily drop out of the program or who are disqualified for any reason will return to the regular Navy fleet and be assigned duties in the skill rating which they acquired prior to attending BUD/S.

Answer:  b.  Ring the bell three times.

If one wants to quit, he has to ring the famous bell that is there all the time, waiting for anyone who has had enough. He has to stand on the green frog footprints, grasp the lanyard, and ring the bell three times. He then has to put his phase helmet next to all the other helmets of the men who have called it quits.
