Correct answer
- CPor el derecho, utilizando el resto cuando las circunstancias del tráfico o de la vía lo aconsejan.The right-hand lane, using the others when traffic or road circumstances make it advisable.

Outside built-up areas you normally drive in the right-hand lane and use the others when traffic or road circumstances make it advisable (Article 31 of the General Traffic Regulations). Driving above the signed minimum speed does not require you to use the left-hand lanes.
