Correct answer

  • BCon una luz blanca por delante, una luz roja por detrás y el panel de franjas oblicuas rojas y blancas.With a white light at the front, a red light at the rear and the panel with red and white diagonal stripes.
Explanation

Between sunset and sunrise, or in weather or other conditions that greatly reduce visibility, a load sticking out at the front must be marked with a white light. At the rear it must be marked with a red light and a 50 by 50 centimetre panel painted with alternating red and white diagonal stripes. The panel is placed at the rear end of the load so that it always stays at right angles to the vehicle's axis.
