When someone says, "I am out of the woods now", he means that :-
Answer: C
'Out of the woods' means he is no longer in danger or difficulty.
The idiom pictures someone who has found his way out of a dark forest; it is used of a patient who has passed the critical stage of an illness or a business that has survived a crisis. 'I am out of the woods now' means the worst is over.
The other options read the words literally, as a real forest or real timber, which is the trap in any idiom question.
