In this situation you are approaching an intersection and you encounter the sign “Give way”. This sign obliges you to reduce the speed and to make sure that on the priority road (in this case the transversal road) no other vehicles move at that moment.
If other vehicles come from the priority road, you must stop and give them priority. Only after you have made sure that from the priority road no other vehicles come, you can enter the intersection and continue your movement safely.
It must be known that there are situations in which, depending on the direction in which you want to move, you have or do not have the obligation to give priority also to the vehicles that come from the opposite direction. For example, if in such an intersection, encountering the sign “Give way” you want to move straight ahead or to make a right turn, you will give priority to all vehicles that come from the transversal road. However, if you want to make a left turn, besides the obligation to give priority to all vehicles that come from the transversal road, you must also give priority to the vehicles that come from the opposite direction and move straight ahead or to the right (their right), because during the left turn they come from your right side.
The correct answer is: A
OUG* - Article 56
When approaching an intersection the driver of the vehicle must move with a speed that allows stopping, in order to give priority to the traffic participants who have this right.
OUG* - Article 59
[...]
(2) In intersections, the drivers of the vehicles that turn left are obliged to give priority to the vehicles with which they intersect and which move from the right side.
(3) In intersections with traffic controlled through priority signs, the right‑of‑way rule is respected only when two vehicles are about to meet, each entering the intersection from a road signalled with a sign having the same meaning of priority or loss of priority.
[...]
Regulation** - Article 129
(1) The vehicle that moves on a public road on which one of the signs with the meaning: “Priority road”, “Intersection with a non‑priority road” or “Priority over oncoming traffic” is installed has priority.
(2) When two vehicles are about to meet in an intersection controlled through signs, coming from two public roads where signs with the same meaning are installed, the vehicle that comes from the right has priority.
