Correct answer
the road has priority and is signposted.
In general, overtaking is prohibited at intersections and in their vicinity. However, this prohibition has exceptions. Overtaking is permitted at intersections and their vicinity in the following cases: when the road has priority and is duly signposted as such. This means that if a road has priority and is clearly signposted as such, overtaking is permitted in that area. For example, if there are signs indicating that the main road has priority over secondary roads at an intersection, you may overtake at that intersection provided the safety conditions are met. It is important to bear in mind that these exceptions do not override the general road safety rules, and any overtaking manoeuvre must be carried out with caution and in accordance with the applicable traffic regulations.
