When you approach a stop for public passenger transport means provided with a bay, driving on the lane next to the shoulder or curb, and the bus stopped in the stop signals the intention to exit, you are obliged to reduce the speed and if necessary to stop to allow it to re-enter into traffic.
We must remember that the bus whose driver signals the intention to re-enter into traffic from the stop provided with a bay has priority ONLY over the vehicles that are traveling behind it, and if the road has several lanes on direction it has priority ONLY over the vehicles traveling behind it on the first lane.
The correct answer is: B
Regulation** - Article 131
(1) At the approach of a stop for public passenger transport means provided with a bay, from which the driver of such a vehicle signals the intention to exit, the driver of the vehicle who is driving on the lane next to the shoulder or the curb is obliged to reduce the speed and, if necessary, to stop to allow its re-entry into traffic.

OUG* - Article 43
[...]
(2) The driver of a vehicle who is driving on the lane located next to the edge of the carriageway must give priority to the passage of the vehicles that perform public passenger transport only when their drivers signal the intention to re-enter into traffic from the stops provided with bays and have made sure that through their maneuver they do not endanger the safety of the other traffic participants.
