Which sign means 'No stopping'?

Why this is the answer

Stopping where you see this sign is likely to cause an obstruction, which could lead to traffic delays. Obeying the sign will help keep the traffic flowing.

Why the other answers don't fit

A
— Two cars in a red circle forbid overtaking. You may stop on that road; you just may not pass.
C
— The black diagonal on white is the national speed limit sign and says nothing about stopping.
D
— A car in a red circle keeps motor cars off the road altogether, which is a different order.

Where this question comes from

The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
