Correct answer

  • BProhibido tanto parar como estacionar.Both stopping and parking are prohibited.
Explanation

Under the road-marking catalogue in Annex I of the RGC, a continuous yellow line next to the kerb prohibits stopping and parking along its whole length on that side of the carriageway. A broken yellow line, on the other hand, only prohibits parking.
