  • BHacia la izquierda de la calzada.Towards the left of the carriageway.

Correct answer

  • AHacia el vehículo al que adelanto.Towards the vehicle I am overtaking.
Explanation

With a strong wind from the right, the driver compensates by turning the steering wheel slightly to the right. When overtaking a large vehicle, it suddenly shields you from the wind, and that correction makes your vehicle tend to veer towards the vehicle being overtaken.
