Correct answer

  • CJunto al eje de la calzada, sin invadir el sentido contrario.Close to the centre line of the carriageway, without entering the opposite direction.
Explanation

To turn left on a road without markings separating the directions of traffic, the driver must move close to the centre line of the carriageway, without entering the opposite direction. This is set out in the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), which state that when turning left on two-way carriageways you must keep close to the centre line without entering the area meant for the opposite direction. This is the correct answer because it keeps the road safe, allowing the manoeuvre to be made without obstructing oncoming traffic.
