Correct answer

  • BSonido continuo y uniforme.A continuous, uniform sound.
Explanation

Under Article 11.7 of the General Vehicle Regulations (Reglamento General de Vehículos), every motor vehicle must have a horn that produces a continuous, uniform sound of sufficient intensity. Its use is limited: to avoid an accident or, outside built-up areas, to warn that you are overtaking; never without reason or excessively.
