Correct answer
- CUna separación lateral suficiente para que el cruce pueda realizarse con seguridad y sin riesgo.Enough lateral space for them to pass each other safely and without risk.
Motorcycles must leave enough lateral space when passing vehicles coming in the opposite direction, for the safety of both. This is because motorcycles, given their size and stability, need more space to avoid collisions. The rules say that the gap must be sufficient, not a fixed figure, which is why the correct option is the one that mentions enough lateral space for them to pass each other safely and without danger.
