Correct answer

  • BSolo con un sistema de manos libres y sin usar cascos o auriculares.Only with a hands-free system and without using a headset or earphones.
Explanation

When you are stopped at a stop sign you are still driving, so the ban on using a mobile phone applies (Article 18 of the General Traffic Regulations). You may only communicate without using your hands and without a headset or earphones, that is, with a hands-free system. The fact that the vehicle is stopped for a moment does not change anything.
