  3. Have a yellow background with blue writing.

Answer: B. Have an orange background with black writing.

Temporary signs in construction and maintenance work areas have an orange background with black writing. The handbook's color list ties orange to work zones: orange warning signs are usually found in construction or maintenance areas along streets and highways, and they alert you to dangers ahead from those projects. The same chapter also describes the diamond warning sign as yellow, yellow-green, or orange with black wording or symbols, which is where the black lettering comes from. Read together, a temporary work-zone sign is orange with black writing.
