When you approach a station for means of public transport for persons provided with a bay, driving on the lane next to the shoulder or curb, and the bus stopped in the station signals the intention to leave, you have the obligation to reduce the speed and if needed to stop to allow it to re-enter the traffic.
We must note 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 drive behind it, and if the road has several lanes in the same direction it has priority ONLY over the vehicles that drive behind it on the first lane.
The correct answer is: A
Regulation** - Article 131
(1) When approaching a station for means of public transport for persons provided with a bay, from which the driver of such a vehicle signals the intention to leave, the driver of the vehicle who drives on the lane next to the shoulder or the curb is obliged to reduce the speed and, if needed, to stop to allow it to re-enter the traffic.

OUG* - Article 43
[...]
(2) The driver of the vehicle who drives on the lane placed next to the edge of the carriageway must give priority to the vehicles that perform public transport of persons only when their drivers signal the intention to re-enter the traffic from the stations provided with bays and have made sure that through their maneuver they do not endanger the safety of the other road users.
