Correct answer
Continue to a suitable place where it is permitted and safe.
Continue to a suitable place where a U-turn is permitted and safe. Article 78 requires choosing an appropriate place, obstructing the road for the least possible time, signalling intent and ensuring no danger or obstruction to other users; abstain if those conditions are not met. Reversing has its own restrictions under article 80. Waiting until there is no traffic does not make a place suitable if the manoeuvre remains unsafe or prohibited.
