Correct answer

  • AObedecer la señal del agente.Obey the officer's signal.
Explanation

According to Article 133.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, signals and orders from traffic officers come first in the order of precedence, ahead of traffic lights and road signs such as STOP. If the officer orders you to stop, you must do so even if the traffic light allows you through, and then follow their instructions.
