Correct answer

D. Stop, no matter which side of the road you are on

Why

In New York you must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights even on a divided highway — a rule New York applies more strictly than most states. Stay stopped until the lights stop flashing and the bus moves or the driver signals you on.
