Correct answer

  • BPor el carril de la derecha y, si perturbamos gravemente la circulación, por el arcén.In the right-hand lane and, if we are seriously disrupting traffic, on the hard shoulder.
Explanation

When driving at an abnormally low speed and so seriously disrupting traffic, you must drive on the right-hand hard shoulder or, if there is none, on the part of the carriageway that is strictly necessary, and leave at the first exit.
