Three vehicles approach an uncontrolled intersection. Car A wants to make a left turn and is across the intersection from Car B. Car B is ahead of Car C and both are in the same lane traveling in the same direction and want to proceed straight through the intersection. The law gives the right-of-way:

To Car A and Then Car B
To Car A Only
To Car B
To Car B and then Car A

The correct answer is: To Car B

In this scenario, the correct answer is C, which states that the right-of-way is given to Car B. When vehicles approach an uncontrolled intersection like the one described in the question, the vehicle that arrives first has the right-of-way. In this case, Car B is ahead of Car C and is in the same lane traveling in the same direction. Since Car A wants to make a left turn across the intersection from Car B, Car B, which is the vehicle ahead, has the right-of-way to proceed through the intersection first. This rule helps to ensure smooth and safe traffic flow at intersections.
