1. Slow down and proceed with caution

2. Stop immediately

3. Move into a non-adjacent lane if possible and then slow down

4. Honk your horn to alert the vehicles around you

The correct answer is: Move into a non-adjacent lane if possible and then slow down

When you see an emergency vehicle with flashing lights stopped ahead, the correct response is to move into a non-adjacent lane if possible and then slow down. This is because emergency vehicles need space to safely navigate, and moving into a non-adjacent lane helps provide them with the necessary room to continue on their way without obstruction. By slowing down, you are being cautious and attentive to the emergency situation, allowing the emergency vehicle to pass safely. It is important to be aware of and responsive to emergency vehicles on the road to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
