Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. The driver should be aware that the lights may change before they reach them and be prepared to stop.

You should always read the road ahead and be prepared to react to changing traffic situations. Where traffic lights have been green for some time, you should be prepared to stop, as the lights are probably about to change to amber.
