Correct answer

  • BSí, si hay más de un carril en el mismo sentido de la marcha.Yes, if there is more than one lane in the same direction.
Explanation

Even if there is no sign prohibiting it, in two-way tunnels or underpasses overtaking is prohibited, unless there is more than one lane in your direction, in which case you may overtake without moving into the opposite direction. So overtaking is always prohibited in tunnels, underpasses and stretches of road covered by the 'Tunnel' sign where there is only one lane in the direction of the vehicle that wants to overtake.
