Not quiteCorrect answer: A — Every approach to the intersection is controlled by a stop sign, so all traffic must stop
The ALL WAY plaque is used only where every approach to the intersection is stopped. It tells you the cross traffic will stop too, but it gives you nothing extra: you still stop, then take your turn.
Knowing that the other drivers also face a stop sign tempts people to treat their own stop as a formality. The plaque adds information; it never removes the stop.
