I would say that one should swerve to the left then move back to the right side of the highway when safe. As long as there is no oncoming traffic this would be okay but if there is oncoming traffic, one would have to move towards the shoulder and slow down especially if the shoulder is gravel.

ANSWER: C. Sound your horn, brake sharply, and steer for the right side of the road or the ditch.

When confronted by a motorcycle that went opposite its designated lane, you should aim to swerve to the side of the road instead of the other lane (as choice B suggests).

Sounding your horn to alert the motorcycle that he is on the wrong lane, breaking sharply to slow down your acceleration and possible impact, and steering quickly to the right (or ditch) would be the wisest thing to do in this situation since it ensures a chance of survival.
