Correct answer
- BNo, porque no hay visibilidad.No, because there is no visibility.
Explanation
Overtaking is prohibited when visibility is insufficient and, specifically, behind a vehicle that is also overtaking and whose size prevents you from seeing the road ahead (Article 87.1.a of the General Traffic Regulations). The lorry blocks the view, so you cannot overtake.
