Correct answer

  • CNo podrá sobresalir nada.It may not stick out at all.
Explanation

The load carried on cars may only stick out at the back, never at the sides or at the front. If we carry an indivisible load on a car, it may stick out at the back by up to 15% of the vehicle's length; if it is divisible, by up to 10%.
