The intersection in the image is controlled with regulatory priority signs, under each sign there is installed an additional panel that indicates the direction of the priority road.

The bus comes from the non-priority road, encountering the sign "Give way", and must give priority to the red car and the blue one that come from the priority road.

The red car and the blue one encounter the sign "Priority road". The red car wishes to continue to drive in the direction of the priority road. The blue car wishes to drive straight ahead, thus leaving the priority road. Considering that one of the two cars will leave the priority road, they will intersect their trajectories and will not be able to pass at the same time, thus creating a situation of equality. In this situation the rule of the priority from the right will apply and the blue car will give priority to the red car, because it comes from the right side of the blue one.

Therefore, the crossing order through this intersection is the following: the red car, followed by the blue car and the last to pass through the intersection will be the bus.

The correct answer is: A
