Correct answer

  • BPor el carril de la derecha; no obstante, puede circular por cualquiera de los tres.The right-hand lane; however, it may use any of the three.
Explanation

Outside built-up areas you normally drive in the right-hand lane, and you may use the others when traffic makes it advisable (Article 31.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)). Only vehicle combinations over 7 metres long are limited to the right-hand lane and the one next to it on carriageways with three or more lanes (Article 31.2).
