Explanation

Explanation text category A / driving tests drpciv:
Overtaking is the maneuver by which a vehicle passes in front of another vehicle or next to an obstacle located on the same direction of travel, by changing the direction of travel and leaving the traffic lane or the row of vehicles in which it was initially.
In the situation in which a vehicle moves faster on one of the lanes than the vehicles that move on another lane in the same direction of travel, it is not considered overtaking, regardless of which lane the vehicle that moves faster travels.
Therefore the correct answer is: A
 
Reference article from the road legislation in force: OUG or Regulation
Art. 45. 
(1) Overtaking is the maneuver by which a vehicle passes in front of another vehicle or next to an obstacle located on the same direction of travel, by changing the direction of travel and leaving the traffic lane or the row of vehicles in which it was initially.
(2) The driver of the vehicle who starts overtaking must make sure that the vehicle that moves in front of or behind him has not initiated such a maneuver.
(3) When by the overtaking maneuver the axis that separates the directions of travel is crossed, the drivers of vehicles must make sure that from the opposite direction no vehicle is approaching and that they have enough space to re-enter the initial lane, where they are obliged to return after performing the overtaking maneuver.
(4) It does not constitute overtaking, in the sense of paragraph (1), the situation in which a vehicle moves faster on one of the lanes than the vehicles that move on another lane in the same direction of travel.
(5) Overtaking is performed only on the left side of the overtaken vehicle. The tram or the vehicle whose driver has signalled the intention and has moved accordingly into position to leave the direction of travel to the left is overtaken on the right side.
(6) The tram in motion may also be overtaken on the left side when the road is one-way or when between the right rail and the edge of the sidewalk there is not enough space.
