Correct answer

Explanation

If a police vehicle positions itself behind us using its light and sound signals at the same time and also switches on a flashing red light facing forwards, it is telling us to stop the vehicle on the right-hand side of the carriageway, in a place where it does not create further risk or nuisance, and to obey the instructions the officer gives us over the loudspeaker.
