The road legislation does not oblige you to reduce the travelling speed in the situation in which you are overtaken by another motor vehicle. There is no legal article that obliges you to do this. You must not confuse this with the situation in which during the night, when approaching another vehicle which moves from the opposite direction, you are obliged to reduce the travelling speed and to use the dipped-beam headlights.
When you notice that you are about to be overtaken by another motor vehicle, you are obliged to not increase the travelling speed and to drive as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway or of the lane on which you are travelling.
The correct answer is: B and C
Regulation** - Article 114

(2) During the night, when two vehicles that move from opposite directions approach, their drivers are obliged that from a distance of at least 200 m to use the dipped-beam headlights simultaneously with reducing the speed. When the driver of a motor vehicle approaches a motor vehicle which moves in front of him, he is obliged to use the dipped-beam headlights from a distance of at least 100 m.

Regulation** - Article 119
