Correct answer

  • CNosotros.Our vehicle.
Explanation

The ‘priority to oncoming traffic’ sign requires you to let oncoming vehicles through. If two vehicles meet in the narrow section and cannot pass each other, the one that entered from the end with this sign must reverse (Article 61.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)), that is, our vehicle.
