Correct answer

  • C100 metros.100 metres.
Explanation

According to Article 95.6 of the General Traffic Regulations, inside a tunnel and with no intention of overtaking, you must keep at least 100 metres or 4 seconds from the vehicle in front. The 150 metres or 6 seconds depend on the MAM of your own vehicle, not of the one in front.
