If you see a yield sign ahead, you must:

  1. Speed up to merge with traffic.

  2. Come to a complete stop.

  3. Slow down and prepare to stop.

  4. Yield the right-of-way to other vehicles.

The correct answer is: Yield the right-of-way to other vehicles.

If you see a yield sign ahead, you must yield the right-of-way to other vehicles on the road. Coming to a complete stop (option B) may not always be necessary if there are no other vehicles on the road. Speeding up to merge with traffic (option A) is incorrect because the yield sign indicates that other vehicles have the right-of-way, so merging should be done cautiously. Option C ("Slow down and prepare to stop") may be a better option if there are no vehicles around, but it is not the most accurate answer as it does not clearly state that you must yield the right-of-way to other vehicles.
