Correct answer

A. I wait until I am able to overtake

Comment

The car driver has to wait until overtaking is possible without danger and always maintain the necessary safety distance to the vehicle in front. Stay calm, because tailgating, turning the headlights on full beam for a long time or honking is considered coercion and will be punished with fines or even a withdrawal of your driving license.
