Correct answer

  • CMediante el uso repetido de las luces de freno.By using the brake lights repeatedly.
Explanation

Before slowing down considerably you must give warning (Article 53.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)), and this is signalled, whenever possible, by using the brake lights repeatedly (Article 109.2.c). Sidelights or indicators do not signal it.
