Correct answer
B. At the rest area.
Explanation
In the photo a coach is driving on a motorway, and by the road you can see sign D-9 "motorway" and a parking sign. When you feel tired, you may stop the bus at a rest area (MOP) - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping or parking a vehicle on a motorway or expressway anywhere other than places designated for this purpose - such a place is a rest area with a car park. The emergency lane (hard shoulder) (answer A) is only for stopping because of a breakdown or in a dangerous situation, not for resting - a bus standing there can easily be hit by someone who drifts out of the traffic lane. Stopping on the exit road (answer C) is prohibited and dangerous, because vehicles leaving the motorway travel fast there. Tiredness is a signal that you must rest as soon as possible, so you drive to the nearest rest area.
