Correct answer

  • BSólo en vías fuera de poblado.only on roads outside built-up areas.
Explanation

The reflective vest is compulsory when the driver gets out of the vehicle and is on the carriageway or hard shoulder of a road outside a built-up area. It must be a certified high-visibility vest; a brightly coloured garment is not a substitute.
