Correct answer

  • BSí, porque para adelantar es necesario cambiar de carril.Yes, because overtaking requires changing lanes.
Explanation

Overtaking a cyclist involves a sideways movement, because you have to move partly or fully into the adjacent lane, and every sideways movement must be signalled with the indicator. The fact that the road marking allows overtaking does not mean you do not have to signal the manoeuvre.
