Correct answer

  • CDespués de ver en el espejo la parte delantera del vehículo adelantado.After seeing the front of the overtaken vehicle in the mirror.
Explanation

After overtaking you must move back into the right-hand lane gradually, without making the overtaken driver brake. A practical guide is to see the front of the overtaken vehicle in the interior mirror: this means there is already enough distance. There is no fixed distance or time.
