Correct answer
- BComo norma general por el de la derecha.As a general rule, the right-hand one.
Explanation
In built-up areas you may choose the lane that best suits your destination, but this rule does not apply to motorways and dual carriageways. On them, even in urban areas, you normally drive in the right-hand lane and use the others when traffic makes it advisable, without holding up those behind you.
