Correct answer

Explanation

Under the General Traffic Regulations, when a vehicle's load sticks out sideways more than 0.40 metres beyond the outer edge of the vehicle's position lights, the load must be properly marked to ensure the safety of other road users. This marking must include a white light and a white reflective device at the front, and a red light together with a red reflective device at the rear. This is set out in the relevant article on marking loads, ensuring visibility and safety when driving at night or in poor visibility. The answer with white at the front and red at the rear is correct because it meets these requirements exactly.
