What should you do if you fall into cold water while boating?

Attempt to swim to shore immediately
Remove your clothing to reduce weight
Stay with the boat and signal for help
Dive underwater to avoid the cold

The correct answer is: Stay with the boat and signal for help

If you fall into cold water while boating, the correct action to take is to stay with the boat and signal for help. It is crucial to not attempt to swim to shore immediately as this can lead to exhaustion and hypothermia. Removing your clothing to reduce weight is not recommended as it can actually help insulate your body and provide additional protection against the cold water. Diving underwater to avoid the cold is also not a safe option as it can lead to disorientation and further danger. Staying with the boat increases your chances of being spotted by rescuers and provides you with a stable platform to hold onto while waiting for help to arrive.
