Correct answer

  • ASí, por ser el carril que más conviene a nuestro destino.Yes, because it is the lane that best suits our destination.
Explanation

In this case, as we are in a built-up area and the lanes are marked out, we can use the lane that best suits our destination. If we intend to turn left, the right lane to use is the one on the left of the road. If the lanes are not marked out, we must drive on the right until shortly before the junction, where we move into position to turn left.
