In this situation you intend to enter an intersection with traffic directed by regulatory priority signs and you encounter the sign “Give way” accompanied by the additional panel indicating, through the thickened line, that the priority roads are the one on the left and the one in front.

The sign “Give way” obliges you to give priority to the vehicles coming from the priority roads, more exactly to the vehicles coming from the road on the left and the vehicles coming from the road in front.

The vehicles coming from the road on the right come from a non‑priority road, just like you, and you must also give them priority because between the vehicle you are driving and the vehicles coming from the right an equality situation is created, in which the rule of priority from the right will apply.

Therefore, when encountering the sign and the additional panel in the image, you will give priority to all vehicles that travel through the intersection.

The correct answer is: C

[...]
(2) In the intersections, the drivers of the vehicles who turn left are obliged to give way to the vehicles with which they intersect and which travel from the right side.
(3) In the intersections with traffic directed by priority signs, the rule of priority from the right is respected only when two vehicles are about to meet, each entering the intersection from a road signalled with a sign having the same meaning of priority or loss of priority.

Regulation** - Article 129

(1) The vehicle that travels on a public road on which one of the signs having the meaning: “Priority road”, “Intersection with a non‑priority road” or “Priority over traffic from the opposite direction” is installed has priority.
(2) When two vehicles are about to meet in an intersection directed by signs, coming from two public roads where signs with the same meaning are installed, the vehicle coming from the right has priority.
