Explanation

Call for help is the standard English phrase meaning to request assistance. The preposition for is the correct choice here as it indicates the purpose or target of the calling. The other prepositions don't work in this context - call in means to summon or retract, call upon means to visit or invoke, call off means to cancel, and call on means to visit or ask.
