When you drive at night, in unfavorable atmospheric conditions that greatly impede visibility, you will use the low‑beam lights. But in the situation in which dense fog appears, besides the low‑beam lights, you will also use the rear fog lights of the motor vehicle, and optionally you can turn on the front fog lights of the motor vehicle (also called front fog lights), if the motor vehicle is equipped with such lights at the front part.

It must be known that when, at night or in conditions of reduced visibility, you approach an uncontrolled intersection or an intersection controlled only by priority signs, you have the obligation to signal your presence by the alternating use of the low‑beam lights with the high‑beam lights (more exactly you change the dipped beam with the high beam rapidly a few times), on the condition that from the opposite direction no other vehicle approaches at a distance less than 200 meters, because in such a situation the use of the high‑beam lights (high beam) is prohibited and implicitly this type of signalling by the alternating use of the low‑beam lights with the high‑beam lights is also prohibited.

The correct answer is: C

Recommendations:

Correct use of the lighting and signalling system --> Road Code - The technical condition of vehicles and the lighting and light‑signalling system

Regulation** - Article 114

(1) The drivers of motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors and trams are obliged to use their lighting and/or signalling installations, as follows:
a) the position or parking lights when the vehicle is immobilized on the carriageway outside the urban area, from dusk until dawn, during the day when it rains torrentially, snows heavily or there is dense fog or in other conditions that reduce visibility on the public road;
b) the low‑beam or high‑beam lights, in motion, both in the urban area and outside it, according to the degree of illumination of the public road;
c) the low‑beam lights and the fog lights in dense fog;
d) the low‑beam lights of the motor vehicles that accompany military columns or processions, transport organized groups of persons and those that tow other vehicles or transport dangerous goods or products, during the day;
e) the low‑beam lights when it rains torrentially, snows heavily or in other conditions that reduce visibility on the road;
[...]
(2) At night, when two vehicles approaching from opposite directions get close, their drivers are obliged, from a distance of at least 200 m, to use the low‑beam lights concurrently with reducing the speed. When the driver of a motor vehicle, agricultural or forestry tractor approaches a vehicle that is moving in front, he is obliged to use the low‑beam lights from a distance of at least 100 m.
(3) At night or in conditions of reduced visibility the drivers of motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors and trams who approach an intersection uncontrolled by light signals or by traffic police officers are obliged to signal by the alternating use of the low‑beam lights with the high‑beam lights if they do not thus violate the provisions of paragraph (2).
