Correct answer

  • BNo, está prohibido.No, it is prohibited.
Explanation

In tunnels and underpasses with only one lane in each direction overtaking is prohibited, even if there is visibility and no vehicles are coming from the other direction. It is only allowed if there is more than one lane in your own direction, and without moving into the opposite direction.
