You must give priority to the pedestrians, not pass in front of them. We draw attention that failure to give priority to the pedestrian who is crossing the public road in compliance with the traffic rules is sanctioned with the fine provided in class III and with the suspension of the right to drive for a period of 60 days.
In the given situation you want to change the direction of travel to the right and you encounter pedestrians who are crossing the road in compliance with the traffic rules, you have the obligation to give the pedestrians priority.
In the image the warning sign “Cyclists” is also seen, this has the role of warning you that the road on which you are travelling intersects with a bicycle lane, or that a place follows where the circulation of bicycles is frequent. After encountering this sign it is possible to intersect a bicycle lane, in which case, if you perform a turn to the left or to the right and you intersect with a cyclist or electric scooter rider who travels on a bicycle lane, signalled as such, you have the obligation to give this one priority.
However considering that in answer C it is specified that you will give priority only to the cyclists, this answer cannot be correct because, turning to the right, you must give priority both to the pedestrians who are crossing in compliance with the traffic rules and to the cyclist or electric scooter rider who travels on the bicycle lane, signalled as such.
The correct answer is: B
