Correct answer

  • CContinuar circulando hasta salir del paso inferior, siempre que sea posible.Keep driving until you are out of the underpass, whenever possible.
Explanation

If the breakdown allows you to continue, the safest thing is to leave the underpass before stopping: inside there is little visibility and space, and a stopped vehicle creates a serious risk of a rear-end collision.
