I think the answer is the reason for his absence is quite simple to understand.
Hey there!
Em dashes are meant to indicate brief pauses within a running sentence. If you were to include one within a quote, it would go wherever a person pauses for an extended period of time (at least longer than the person would normally take to start their next word).
In your first answer choice, the reader is put under the impression that the em dashes used between "I", "uh", and "am" are pauses, as if Carla was at a brief loss for words. Since she likely paused and said "uh" while thinking of the next thing to say, this is the correct use of the em dash.
In your second answer choice, an em dash wouldn't be appropriate. It's not likely that Bianca would stop her sentence midway, pause, then tell Nawal to duck before the frisbee would hit his head. She likely stopped her sentence and immediately told him to duck instead.
In your third answer, this sentence doesn't even require a dash anywhere. There isn't a need for a pause between "shrieked" and "Laura".
In your fourth answer, this is also an incorrect use of an em dash. There wouldn't be a dash before "exclaimed" in this sentence.
Your answer will be your first option.
Hope this helped you out! :-)

Answer and Explanation:
Dear Trevor:
<em />
<em>Hello again my dear friend, I hope you're doing well. It has been a while since we last spoke and you might be wondering why.</em>
<em>As many people know by now thanks to social media, </em><em>there was a terrible and disastrous fire in the Chipinque forest last week.</em><em> It caused important losses of old and valuable trees which have survived for over 100 years. Also, many species of wildlife were killed, while others suffered numerous injuries.</em>
<em>As much as I am grateful for not being harmed in this fire, I am deeply sad about this situation and I'm certain you will be too due to your profound appreciation for this town, which will always be your first and most-loved town. The main reason of this letter is to let you know we are all safe. However, I wanted to please ask you to be careful because, as you already know, the current high temperatures are able to cause many similar disasters and horrible losses, no matter where we are.</em>
<em>I truly hope I can visit your town soon to catch up and tell you more about this unfortunate event.</em>
Love,
Sophia
