Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The correct phrasal expression is “help someone off (with something)”,
which means to assist a person in removing an item of clothing.
Example:
She helped the child off with his jacket.
Let me help you off with your coat.
Other options are incorrect because:
help you out → means to assist in general, not to remove clothing.
put you off → means to discourage or repel someone.
put you up → means to give someone accommodation.
Hence, the correct answer is help you off.
