Correct answer

  • BPor el carril derecho.The right-hand lane.
Explanation

Under Article 31 of the General Traffic Regulations, on roads outside built-up areas with more than one lane in the same direction, motor cars must normally drive in the right-hand lane. This keeps traffic safer and more orderly and leaves the other lanes free for vehicles that need to overtake.
