What is the right course of action now?

In this scenario, the correct action is to allow any cross traffic the right of way. This is because of the “Give Way” (Yield) sign present at the intersection. In Germany, a “Give Way” sign means you must slow down and allow all vehicles on the crossing road—the cross traffic—to proceed before you enter the junction, regardless of whether you need to turn or go straight. You should wait for a safe gap and only drive on when the cross traffic is clear. This rule ensures safety and smooth traffic flow at intersections where priorities are regulated by signs rather than by traffic lights. You chose the correct answer; always remember to look for priority signs at intersections and follow them accordingly.
