In the given situation it is observed that the bus intends to exit from the station provided with a bay, and you, because you move behind it on the lane next to the curb, are obliged to reduce the speed and, if needed, to stop in order to allow it to re-enter the traffic.
We must remember that the bus whose driver signals the intention to re-enter the traffic from the station provided with a bay has priority ONLY over the vehicles that move behind it, and if the road has several lanes on the direction it has priority ONLY over the vehicles that move behind it on the first lane.
The correct answer is: B
Regulation** - Article 131
(1) When approaching a station for public transport vehicles provided with a bay, from which the driver of such a vehicle signals the intention to exit, the driver of the vehicle who moves on the lane next to the shoulder or the curb is obliged to reduce the speed and, if needed, to stop in order to allow its re-entry into the traffic.
