Correct answer

  • BPor el carril de la derecha si no perturba gravemente la circulación. Si la perturba lo hará por el arcén.The right-hand lane if it does not seriously disrupt traffic. If it does, it will use the hard shoulder.
Explanation

A vehicle travelling at an abnormally low speed because of an emergency will use the right-hand lane. Only if this seriously disrupts traffic must it move onto the hard shoulder on its right, if it is passable and wide enough, under Article 36 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC).
