Correct answer

  • BDetenerme a la altura del semáforo, si puedo hacerlo en condiciones de seguridad suficiente.Stop level with the traffic light, if I can do so with sufficient safety.
Explanation

This is the correct answer because a non-flashing amber light means that you must get ready to stop. If you can do so safely, that is what you must do. This keeps traffic flowing in an orderly way and avoids dangerous situations.
