Correct answer

  • CPor el carril derecho; puede usar el carril central cuando las circunstancias lo requieran.In the right-hand lane; you may use the centre lane when circumstances require it.
Explanation

The sign reserves the centre lane for those driving at 70 km/h or more, but it does not require you to use it. Under Article 31.1 of the RGC, outside built-up areas and with more than one lane in your direction, you normally drive in the right-hand lane and use the others when traffic or road conditions make it advisable.
