Correct Answer: you


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The pronoun "you" is used in this context to indicate that the guard is addressing and directing the person reading the passage to halt and proceed to the parking lot. The use of "you" maintains grammatical correctness and ensures that the direction is clearly directed towards the reader or any individual approaching the entrance.

Therefore, the correct answer is "you".
