Correct answer

  • BNo, debe detenerse antes de entrar en la intersección.No, the driver must stop before entering the junction.
Explanation

An arm raised vertically requires everyone approaching the officer to stop. At a junction, you must stop before entering it; only those who are already inside it or cannot stop safely may continue. The officer's signal takes precedence over priority rules.
