The intersection in the image is controlled with regulatory priority signs, under each sign there is installed an additional panel indicating the direction of the priority road. The green car and the red car come from roads without priority, both encountering the sign “Give way”, and must give priority to the blue car which comes from the priority road and which encounters the sign “Priority road”. Thus, the first to pass through the intersection will be the blue car.

Between the green car and the red car a situation of equality has appeared, both encountering the sign “Give way”, a situation in which the red car will give right-of-way priority to the green car, because it comes from the right side of the red car. Thus, the second to pass through the intersection will be the green car, and the last will pass the red car.

Therefore, the passing order is the following: the blue motor vehicle, followed by the green motor vehicle, and the last to pass through the intersection will be the red motor vehicle.

The correct answer is: B
