When you approach a station for public transport vehicles provided with a bay, driving on the lane next to the shoulder or curb, and the bus stopped in the station signals the intention to leave, you have the obligation to reduce speed and if needed to stop to allow it to re-enter traffic.
We must note that the bus whose driver signals the intention to re-enter traffic from the station provided with a bay has priority ONLY over the vehicles that move behind it, and if the road has several lanes in one direction it has priority ONLY over the vehicles that move behind it on the first lane.
The correct answer is: A
Regulation** - Article 131
(1) When approaching a station for public transport vehicles provided with a bay, from which the driver of such a vehicle signals the intention to leave, the driver of the vehicle that moves on the lane next to the shoulder or curb is obliged to reduce speed and, if needed, to stop to allow its re-entry into traffic.

OUG* - Article 43
[...]
(2) The driver of a vehicle that moves on the lane located next to the edge of the carriageway must give priority to the vehicles that perform public transport of persons only when their drivers signal the intention to re-enter traffic from stations provided with bays and have made sure that through their maneuver they do not endanger the safety of the other traffic participants.
