If you are coming to a stop at a stoplight and the light turns green, you:

Must remain stopped
Must yield to other vehicles
May proceed if clear
May proceed if safe

The correct answer is: May proceed if clear

When the light turns green, it means that you have the right of way and can proceed through the intersection if it is clear of other vehicles or hazards. Option A is incorrect because when the light turns green, you are no longer required to remain stopped. Option B is incorrect because you are not required to yield to other vehicles unless you are making a turn or at an uncontrolled intersection. Option D is incorrect because safety is always a priority when driving, and you should only proceed if it is both safe and clear to do so. Option C is the best choice because it is the correct and most specific option for this scenario.
