We draw attention that, although this circular-shaped intersection resembles very much an intersection in which the traffic takes place in a roundabout, in this one the traffic is directed by regulatory priority signs, not being an intersection with roundabout traffic.
Under each sign there is installed an additional panel that indicates the direction of the priority road. The motorcycle and the truck come from roads without priority, encountering the sign "Give way", and have the obligation to give priority of passing to the bus and the green car.
The bus and the green car come from the priority road, both encountering the sign "Priority road", and have priority of passing over the motorcycle and the truck.
Therefore, considering that in the statement of this question it is NOT asked the order of passing through the intersection, but it is asked to state which of the vehicles have priority of passing, in this intersection the bus and the green car have priority of passing. Nevertheless, the truck acted wrongly by entering the intersection, thus being able to block the traffic in it.
The correct answer is: A
OUG* - Article 59
[...]
(2) In the intersections, the drivers of the vehicles who turn left are obliged to give priority of passing to the vehicles with which they intersect and which move from the right side.
(3) In the intersections with traffic directed by priority signs, the right-hand priority rule is respected only in the case in which 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 2

Regulation** - Article 129
(1) The vehicle that moves 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 passing.
(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.
Regulation** - Article 105
Is prohibited the entering in an intersection even if the light signal or a priority sign allows, if due to traffic congestion the driver of the vehicle risks to remain immobilized, hindering or preventing the movement of the traffic.
