Correct answer

  • BNunca, en ninguna vía.Never, on any road.
Explanation

There is no margin at all for exceeding the maximum speed when overtaking. The option of going 20 km/h over the limit on conventional roads was abolished by Law 18/2021, in force since 21 March 2022, and it never applied to motorways or dual carriageways.
