Right answer and explanation

Right answer: B. You have a duty of care and must avoid creating danger there

Outside a pedestrian crossing, the pedestrian does not automatically have the right of way, but the general duty of care under the Road Traffic Act always applies, so that dangerous situations must be avoided.
