For answer A

In answer A it is mentioned that the vehicle enters a county road coming from a national road. According to point a) of Article 135, the priority is given to vehicles that enter a national road coming from other types of roads (county, communal or local). Therefore, this answer cannot be correct because priority is given to the vehicle coming from the national road.

For answer B

The driver of the vehicle is obliged to give priority to the pedestrian who is crossing the public road through a specially designated place, marked and properly signalled or at the green colour of the traffic light intended for him, when he is on the driving direction of the vehicle.

However, in answer B, the pedestrian crosses through a place not designated and not properly signalled, which means that the pedestrian does not benefit from priority over the drivers of vehicles. Thus, in this situation, the driver of the vehicle is not obliged to give priority to the pedestrian, because the crossing is not done through a specially designated, marked and properly signalled place. Therefore, this answer cannot be correct.

For answer C

At the uncontrolled intersection of two roads of different categories the right‑hand priority rule does not apply, priority will be given to vehicles traveling on the “superior road”.

The right‑hand priority rule will apply in the uncontrolled 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 vehicles traveling on the “superior road”.

Therefore, when you come from a local road and want to enter a communal road, you are obliged to give priority to vehicles traveling on the communal road.

The categories of roads can be identified by the presence of different types of kilometric signs (kilometric markers) having different colours depending on the road category. Red for national road, blue for county road and yellow for communal road.

The correct answer is: C
