The intersection in the image is one in which the traffic is directed with regulatory priority signs. Even if only on the non-priority road priority regulatory signs are installed, more precisely the “Give way” sign, this intersection is one with directed traffic.
We draw attention that such intersections in which the regulatory priority signs are found installed only on the road or, as the case may be, on the non-priority roads are also encountered in reality, these being intersections with directed traffic.
The blue car and the red one come from non-priority roads, both encountering the “Give way” sign, and they have the obligation to give priority to the vehicles that come from the priority road, more precisely to the green car, which will pass first through this intersection.
The blue car and the red one have equal rights to pass through this intersection because they encounter the “Give way” sign, however because the red car intends to turn left it will give priority to the blue car because by turning left, the blue car comes to it from the right side.
Therefore, the passing order is the following: the green car, followed by the blue car, and the last through the intersection will pass the red car,
The correct answer is: B
OUG* - Article 59
[...]
(2) In the intersections, the drivers of the vehicles who turn left are obliged to give priority to the vehicles with which they intersect and which circulate from the right side.
(3) In the intersections with traffic directed by priority signs, the priority to the right 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 of loss of priority.

Regulation** - Article 129
(1) The vehicle that circulates on a public road on which one of the signs having the meaning: “Priority road”, “Intersection with a non-priority road” or “Priority over oncoming traffic” is installed has priority of passage.
(2) When two vehicles are about to meet in an intersection directed by signs, coming from two public roads where signs with the same meaning are installed, the vehicle coming from the right has priority.
