Correct answer

  • BNo, porque la señal horizontal solo es para los que giren a la izquierda.No, because the road marking only applies to those turning left.
Explanation

Road markings only apply to those driving in the lane on which they are painted: the STOP with an arrow only affects the left-turn lane, so the white car, which is not using it, does not have to stop.
