Correct answer

Explanation
On an open road you may overtake on the right, taking the utmost care and if there is enough space, a vehicle whose driver is clearly signalling that they are going to turn left or stop on that side (Article 82.2 of the General Traffic Regulations). Having several lanes only allows it in built-up areas.
