- B.Proceed without looking once you have claimed it
- C.Be prepared to yield to avoid a crash - right-of-way is given, not taken
- D.Accelerate through to assert your right
Correct answer
C. Be prepared to yield to avoid a crash - right-of-way is given, not taken

Right-of-way rules do not prevent crashes by themselves. Drive defensively and be ready to yield, even when the law is on your side, to avoid a collision.
