Show answer

Correct answer

  • BContinuar la marcha siguiendo el sentido y dirección que marca la flecha.Continue in the direction shown by the arrow.
Explanation

This is correct because the green arrow on a black background means that you may turn right. If you are in the right-hand lane with right-turn arrows painted on the road, you must follow the direction of the arrow and turn right, obeying the signs that allow that manoeuvre.
