For answer  A 

The driver of the vehicle who overtakes is obliged to make sure that he has enough space to re-enter the initial lane, where he must return after performing the overtaking maneuver. Considering that in the wording of the question it is specified that you move in a queue, you cannot perform the overtaking maneuver because there will not be enough space to re-enter the initial lane.

Moreover, is prohibited the overtaking of vehicles on the road section where a queue of waiting vehicles has formed, if by this the opposite direction of travel is entered, as well as the overtaking of a queue of vehicles stopped at the red color of the traffic light or at a level crossing with the railway, regardless of whether or not by this the opposite direction of travel is entered.

For answer  B
