Correct answer

  • BNo, ya que exceden del número de plazas autorizadas.No, because that exceeds the number of authorised seats.
Explanation

A vehicle may not carry more people than it has authorised seats, and each child takes up one seat, whatever their age. If the vehicle has 9 seats including the driver's, there is room for only 8 passengers, so 9 children plus the driver exceed that number.
