Correct answer

  • CQue no se puede circular a más de 40 km/h.That you may not drive faster than 40 km/h.
Explanation

Signs painted on the carriageway have the same meaning as road signs: a 40 in a circle sets the maximum speed at 40 km/h. It applies until an end-of-limit sign or another maximum speed sign and, if it is in a marked lane, only to that lane.
