Answer: A — Move into the leftmost lane and signal your intent to turn

To prepare for a left turn, it is crucial to move into the leftmost lane and signal your intent to turn. This approach ensures that you are in the proper position on the road for a safe turn, aligning with the flow of traffic for left turns. Signaling your intent communicates your actions to other drivers, allowing them to anticipate your maneuver and adjust accordingly to maintain safety on the road. Being in the leftmost lane is essential, as it is typically designated for left turns, helping to prevent confusion and potential accidents that could arise from being in the wrong lane.
