Explanation

For answer  A 

The road legislation does not provide anything in this respect.


For answer  B 

The longitudinal marking made of a single or double continuous line prohibits its infringement, regardless of the situation.


For answer  C

Overtaking is allowed on that section, as long as it is not infringed or the continuous longitudinal marking is not crossed. If for overtaking the continuous longitudinal marking would not be infringed, the overtaking would be in compliance with the rules.
