In the given situation you encounter a level crossing with the current railway provided with barriers and automatic signalling installation, the intermittent white light signal with slow cadence is in operation, therefore you can cross the railway, however you must drive with reduced speed and make sure that from the left side or from the right side no rail vehicle is approaching.

The correct answer is: C

Recommendations:

The complete explanation of the sign --> Level crossing with a single railway with half‑barrier, provided with warning light signals of the approaching train

The obligations of the drivers of vehicles at the Railway, depending on its type - Audio-Video Lesson --> Road Code - Level crossing with the railway

OUG* - Article 60

(1) The participants in traffic must show increased prudence when approaching and crossing the lines of the current or industrial railway, as the case may be.
(2) At the level crossing with the current railway, provided with barriers or half‑barriers, the drivers of vehicles are obliged to stop at the sign that obliges to stop, if these are in the process of descending or in horizontal position and/or the sound and light signals that announce the approaching train are in operation.
[...]

Regulation** - Article 69

[...]
(2) At the level crossing with the current railway provided with automatic signalling installations without barriers, the prohibition of road traffic is achieved, optically, through the operation of the devices with intermittent-alternate red lights and the extinguishing of the control signalling represented by intermittent white light and, acoustically, through the emission of intermittent sound signals.

Regulation** - Article 70

[...]
(4) At the level crossing with the railway provided with automatic signalling installations with barriers, the signalling of the prohibition of road traffic is achieved in the conditions provided at art. 69 paragraph (2), as well as through the descent in horizontal position of the half‑barriers.

Regulation** - Article 71

(1) The signalling of the prohibition of road traffic is considered achieved even in only one of the following situations:
a) through the lighting of a single lighting unit of the device with intermittent-alternate red light;
b) through the operation of the sound system;
c) through the horizontal position of a single half‑barrier.
(2) Road traffic is considered also prohibited in the situation in which the barriers or half‑barriers are in the process of descending or rising.

Regulation** - Article 136

(1) At the level crossing with the current railway, the driver of vehicle is obliged to drive with reduced speed and to make sure that from the left side or from the right side no rail vehicle is approaching.
[...]

Regulation** - Article 137

(1) The driver of vehicle may cross the current railway provided with barriers or half‑barriers, if these are raised and the light and sound signals are not operating, and the intermittent white light signal with slow cadence is in operation.
[...]

Regulation** - Article 138

(1) The driver of vehicle is obliged to stop when:
a) the barriers or half‑barriers are lowered, in the process of descending or rising;
b) the red light signals and/or the sound signal are in operation;
c) he encounters the sign "Level crossing with single railway without barriers", "Level crossing with double railway without barriers" or "Stop".
(2) The vehicles must stop, in the order of arrival, in the place where there is maximum visibility over the railway without passing the signs provided in paragraph (1) letter c) or, as the case may be, before the stopping marking or before the barriers or half‑barriers, when these are closed, in the process of descending or rising.
