For answer A
When you drive through particularly dangerous curves or with visibility less than 50 meters you are obliged to drive at a speed that does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside the urban area. However, in answer A it is mentioned that visibility is under 100 meters, which is why this answer cannot be correct.
At the non-traffic-light-controlled pedestrian crossings, signalled with signs and markings, when the public road has only one lane of traffic for each direction, you are obliged to drive at a speed that does not exceed 30 km/h in the urban area or 50 km/h outside the urban area, in order to be able to stop safely if you have to give priority to pedestrians.
In answer B it is mentioned that the crossing is traffic-light-controlled, and this obligation does not apply to this type of pedestrian crossing, which is why this answer cannot be correct.
More information about the obligations that the driver of the vehicle has at the pedestrian crossing, depending on its type and the number of lanes per direction, can be found in the Audio-Video lesson “Chapter 4 part 2 - The pedestrian crossing and the obligations of pedestrians” from step 1 on Școala Rutieră.
