Answer: B — Proceed with caution and ensure the intersection is clear

A green traffic signal indicates that you are permitted to proceed through the intersection. However, it is important to proceed with caution and ensure that the intersection is clear. This means that while you have the right of way, you should be attentive to pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles that may still be in the intersection or may not be following the traffic rules. Being cautious also means checking for any potential hazards, such as a vehicle running a red light, or pedestrians who may not be paying attention. This careful approach helps ensure safety for everyone on the road. In summary, the green light signals that you may continue, but always with an awareness of your surroundings.
