A
Top red.✓ Correct Answer
B
Middle yellow.
C
Bottom yellow.
Explanation
AIM 2-3-8 describes mandatory instruction signs as white inscriptions on a red background; the top sign in Figure 254 (red, with a white circle and bar) is the no-entry sign, which is a mandatory instruction sign. The two yellow panels with black lines are boundary-type signs (the ones that mark the edge of a protected area you are leaving), not mandatory instruction signs.
