Correct answer

  • BPor el carril derecho sin invadir el arcén.In the right-hand lane, without moving onto the hard shoulder.
Explanation

Drivers of vehicles with a maximum authorised mass of no more than 3,500 kilograms who, for emergency reasons, are travelling at an abnormally low speed and thereby seriously disrupting traffic must travel on the right-hand hard shoulder, or on the smallest possible part of the carriageway. If they do not disrupt traffic, they must travel in the right-hand lane.
