Correct answer: B. The cyclist may suddenly change direction.
Cyclists are just as entitled to use the road as other vehicles, and drivers need to pay special attention to them. Cyclists are vulnerable road users and sometimes make sudden movements - for example, to avoid a pothole, some broken glass or other debris on the road. Sufficient clearance should be given when overtaking them to lessen the possible danger.
