At the undirected intersection of two roads of different categories the rule of priority to the right does not apply, priority will be given to the vehicles that move on the “higher-category road”.
The rule of priority to the right will apply in the undirected intersection if the roads that intersect are of the same category (for example two communal roads or two streets in a city). If the roads that intersect are of different categories priority will be given to the vehicles that move on the “higher-category road”.
Therefore, when you come from a local road and want to enter a communal road, you are obliged to give priority to the vehicles that move on the communal road.
The categories of roads can be identified by the presence of different types of kilometre signs (kilometre markers) having different colours depending on the category of the road. Red for national road, blue for county road and yellow for communal road.
The correct answer is: A
OUG* - Article 55

OUG* - Article 57
(1) At intersections with undirected traffic, the driver of the vehicle is obliged to give way to the vehicles that come from the right side, under the conditions established by the regulation.

Regulation** - Article 135
The driver of the vehicle is obliged to give priority of passage also in the following situations:
a) at the undirected intersection when entering a national road coming from a county, communal or local road;
b) at the undirected intersection when entering a county road coming from a communal or local road;
c) at the undirected intersection when entering a communal road coming from a local road;
