Explanation
This question is about what the tram driver does before setting off, immediately after closing the doors. The tram driver should carefully observe the surroundings all around and give a departure signal with the bell - the answer is A.
Before moving off from a stop, the tram driver checks whether the doors are closed, whether anyone is running towards the tram or standing too close to the track, and also whether pedestrians are crossing in front of the tram. The bell signal warns people nearby that the tram is moving off. The bell alone (answer B) or the door warning light alone (answer C) is not enough - the warning light will not show a pedestrian in front of the tram, and the bell will not replace observation. The Road Traffic Act requires you to avoid any action that could endanger traffic safety.
