Not quiteCorrect answer: A — Pass to the right of the divider ahead
It marks which side of a physical obstruction — a median, island or barrier — traffic must pass. It is about the object immediately ahead, not lane discipline in general.
It reads like the general "slower traffic keep right" rule. It is a specific instruction about the divider directly in front of you.
