For answer  A 

Before engaging in an overtaking, at first, you must NOT signal and get as close as possible to the axis of the road, because first you must make sure that the vehicle in front and the one behind have not signalled the beginning of a similar maneuver. And in the event that another vehicle has engaged in overtaking you, you can no longer engage in overtaking, in which case you must not increase the travel speed and must drive as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway or of the lane on which you are driving.
