Correct answer

Explanation

Under Annex II of the General Vehicle Regulations (RGV), a motor car (automóvil) is a motor vehicle normally used to carry people or goods, and motorcycles are two-wheeled motor cars (automóviles) of more than 50 cm³ or more than 45 km/h. A moped, on the other hand, is not an automóvil.
