For answer  A 

When you approach a station for public passenger transport means provided with a bay, circulating on the lane next to the shoulder or curb, and the bus stopped in the station signals the intention to pull out, you are obliged to reduce the speed and if necessary to stop to allow it to re-enter the traffic.

The road legislation imposes the giving of priority to the public passenger transport means in these clearly established conditions. Therefore, it cannot be said that they do not have priority in an absolute way. Therefore, answer A is wrong.

For answer  B 

In the intersections in which the traffic is carried out in a roundabout, signalled as such, the vehicles that circulate inside them have priority compared to those that are about to enter the intersection. Thus, when you circulate inside an intersection with a roundabout you do not have to give priority to any vehicle.

Exception are the cases in which the intersection with a roundabout in which you circulate is provided with two or more traffic lanes and for leaving the intersection it is necessary to change the traffic lane, a situation in which you must give priority to the vehicles on that lane on which you want to move into to be able to leave the intersection.

For answer  C 

When you leave from a pedestrian or residential zone you are obliged to give priority of passage to all vehicles with which you intersect. Attention! You must give priority of passage to all vehicles, even bicycles or electric scooters.

The question suggests that the vehicles that enter a residential or pedestrian zone do not have priority, which is wrong, because the road legislation regulates the priority at exit, not at entry. Therefore, answer C is wrong.

The correct answer is: B
