Right answer and explanation

Right answer: B. Slow down, look out for trains, and wait if there is a queue

Even with open barriers you must keep your speed down and watch for an approaching train. If there is a risk of queuing, wait before the crossing so you are not stuck on the tracks. There is no general duty to stop fully, as there is at a stop sign.
