Correct answer

  • B3 metros.3 metres.
Explanation

On vehicles used only for carrying goods that are longer than five metres, a load of indivisible length may stick out two metres at the front and three at the back (Article 15.2 of the General Traffic Regulations, RGC). If the vehicle is five metres long or less, the limit is one third of its length.
