B.Third place
C.It depends on how many riders are left

Hint: It's a 14-word phrase with 68 letters, starting with "S".

Answer

Second place -- passing the second-placed rider only moves you into second, not first

Why this is the answer

Passing the rider in second place means you take over second place -- you'd need to pass the leader as well to become first.
