Correct answer

  • BQue debo girar a la derecha si estoy colocado en el carril de la derecha, que es el que debe utilizar ese giro.That I must turn right if I am in the right-hand lane, which is the one to use for that turn.
Explanation

According to section 4.2 of Annex I of the RGC, the green arrow allows you to proceed in its direction even if the red light is lit, and a vehicle in the lane reserved for that movement, or in the lane that must be used for it, must proceed in that direction, taking care with pedestrians and vehicles.
