Correct answer

  • CSólo por detrás, hasta 25 centímetros.Only at the back, up to 25 centimetres.
Explanation

According to Article 15 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), on a vehicle less than one metre wide the load may not stick out at the front, while at the back it may stick out by up to 25 centimetres. This is to avoid danger on the road and ensure the safety of all road users. So the correct option is that the load may only stick out at the back, by up to 25 centimetres.
