Correct answer

Explanation
Outside built-up areas, on carriageways with more than one lane in each direction, you normally drive in the right-hand lane and use the others when traffic or road conditions make it advisable (Article 31.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). The figures on the sign are maximums, not minimums.
