The horn may be used only from a distance of at least 25 meters from those to whom it is addressed, and in this case you are too close to these cyclists and you are not allowed to honk at them, except when honking to avoid an immediate danger.
When you travel behind a cyclist and find that he intends to change the direction of travel, you must provide him with conditions for completing the maneuver. And after he has completed the maneuver, you may engage in overtaking only if there are optimal conditions for performing the maneuver in safety conditions.
The road legislation provides the same traffic rules for all drivers of vehicles, including for drivers of bicycles, priority not being established according to the type or speed of travel of the vehicle.
The correct answer is: B
Regulation** - Article 112
The drivers of vehicles signal with the means of light or sound warning, or with the arm, as appropriate, before performing any maneuver or for avoiding an immediate danger.
Regulation** - Article 113
(1) The means of sound warning must be used from a distance of at least 25 m from those to whom it is addressed, for a duration of time that ensures the perception of the signal and without determining them to maneuvers that may endanger the safety of traffic.

Regulation** - Article 118
(1) The driver of a vehicle who performs the overtaking is obliged:
a) to make sure that the one who follows him or precedes him has not signalled the intention of beginning a similar maneuver and that he can overtake without endangering or without hindering the traffic from the opposite direction;
b) to signal the intention of performing the overtaking;
c) to keep during the overtaking a sufficient lateral distance from the overtaken vehicle;
d) to re-enter the lane or the row of traffic initially after he has signalled and has made sure that he can perform this maneuver in safety conditions for the overtaken vehicle and for the other participants in traffic.(2) For ensuring the lateral safety distance, during the overtaking of a bicycle or an electric scooter the drivers of motor vehicles, other than those that move on two wheels, perform this maneuver by crossing over the longitudinal marking separating the directions of traffic or separating the lanes on the same direction, with at least half the width of the motor vehicle when its travel speed is greater than 50 km/h, or at least by infringing these markings when the travel speed is at most 50 km/h.
