For answer  A 

The road legislation DOES NOT provide the obligation to use the position lights when the vehicle with which you drive has remained in breakdown on the carriageway.

For answer  B 

In the situation in which you remain with the vehicle in breakdown on the carriageway, you must take it immediately off the carriageway. And if removing it off the carriageway is not possible, you must move it next to the curb or shoulder, signalling the vehicle by putting into function the hazard warning lights and by installing the reflective triangles at at least 30 meters before and after it.

This obligation is not for the drivers of the vehicles from category B.
