Correct answer

  • CEl que se acerca por la derecha.The vehicle approaching from the right.
Explanation

A public road classed as a 'priority attention' road (vía de atención preferente) refers to a dangerous place or one that seriously obstructs traffic. As this has nothing to do with right of way, the general rule of priority to the right applies.
