Correct answer

  • ALos dos exteriores, uno a cada lado.Both exterior mirrors, one on each side.
Explanation

Under Annex III of the General Vehicle Regulations, if the interior mirror does not give a view of the road behind, for example because luggage blocks the rear window, it is no longer compulsory and the car must have a second exterior mirror on the right-hand side, as well as the left-hand one.
