Correct answer
obey the traffic officer's signal.
The officer’s order takes precedence over the traffic light and vertical sign, so you must stop. The general order is officers; temporary signs and delineation; traffic lights; vertical signs; road markings. Conflicting signs of the same type are resolved by following the more restrictive. A green light does not permit disregarding the officer.
