What is shown in the image?

The correct answer is C: Road branching off ahead.

In the image, you can see a road branching off from the main road. This road splitting into two indicates that there is a junction or intersection ahead where the road divides into two separate paths. This road sign is typically used to alert drivers of upcoming junctions or intersections where they will need to choose the appropriate direction to continue their journey.

Answers A, B, and D are incorrect:

A. No Left Turns - This sign would specifically indicate that left turns are not allowed at the upcoming intersection, which is not reflected in the image.

B. Merging Traffic Ahead - This sign is used to warn drivers that two separate roadways will converge and merge into one road. It does not apply to the situation shown in the image.

D. Hidden Intersection - This sign is used to warn drivers that there is an intersection not immediately visible to drivers. In the image provided, the upcoming road branching off is clearly visible and therefore does not indicate a hidden intersection.
