Correct answer
- BDejando completamente libre la mitad de la calzada que corresponda a quienes puedan circular en sentido contrario.Leaving completely clear the half of the carriageway used by traffic that may come the other way.
On the brow of a hill with limited visibility, it is essential not to go into the space of vehicles coming the other way, because you cannot see whether any are coming. So we must drive leaving the half of the carriageway for the opposite direction completely clear, respecting the centre line and staying safe. Driving on the left or wherever "best suits" you would greatly increase the risk of a crash.
