Correct answer

BNo.No.

Explanation

Under Article 5.8 of the General Driver Regulations (RGCond), a B licence only allows you to drive non-agricultural special vehicles whose MAM does not exceed 3,500 kg and whose maximum authorised speed does not exceed 40 km/h. If they exceed either of these limits, you need the licence that corresponds to their MAM.
