Correct answer

  • CEn el punto más alto posible del vehículo inmovilizado, para que sea lo más visible posible.On the highest possible point of the immobilised vehicle, so that it is as visible as possible.
Explanation

Under the General Traffic Regulations, the V-16 light, which shows that a vehicle is immobilised, must be placed on the highest possible point of the vehicle to make it as visible as possible. This rule makes sure that other drivers can clearly see the signal from a safe distance and avoid further accidents. So the correct answer is to place it on the highest point of the immobilised vehicle.
