For answer A
If you remain broken down with the motor vehicle in a tunnel, you have the obligation to stop the operation of the engine, to activate the hazard warning lights and to install the warning triangles at least 30 meters before and after the motor vehicle.
You do not have the obligation to tow the motor vehicle to the exit of the underground passage nor to notify the firefighters; they will be notified only for extrication or in case of fire, through the emergency service 112.
