Warning signs use yellow or orange to alert you to hazards or changes in the road ahead. The action they prompt is to slow down and proceed with caution, following any specific guidance shown on the sign (such as reducing speed, merging, or detouring). This is why this option is the best choice: it directly describes how to respond to warning signs and the purpose they serve. Speed limit signs are regulatory, telling you the allowed speed, not warning of a hazard. Construction signs may be orange and do indicate work zones, but they don’t always require stopping; they mainly require slower speeds and attention. Tolls ahead signs inform you about tolls, not hazards.
