Correct answer

  • ADejando completamente libre la mitad de la calzada que corresponda a los que pueden circular en sentido contrario.Leaving completely free the half of the carriageway that belongs to traffic coming in the opposite direction.
Explanation

You must drive on the right of the carriageway, as close as possible to its right-hand edge, keeping enough lateral clearance to pass oncoming vehicles safely. This applies especially on bends and brows of hills with reduced visibility, even when there are no signs or markings dividing the carriageway: there you must leave free the half of the carriageway that belongs to traffic that may come in the opposite direction.
