From the text of answer A it appears that the person who holds the driving licence is fit medically to drive a motor vehicle. The traffic legislation specifies that the withdrawal of the driving licence applies if the person who holds the driving licence is unfit medically to drive a motor vehicle. Therefore, answer A cannot be correct.
The administrative validity of driving licences is 5 or 10 years depending on the category of driving licence. The withdrawal of the driving licence is not ordered when its administrative validity has expired. In such situations the traffic legislation provides that the holder of the driving licence will be issued, upon request, without taking a new examination, a new licence with a new administrative validity, provided that the holder undergoes the medical examination provided by the regulations in force.
The traffic police orders the withdrawal of the driving licence if its holder could not be subjected to testing to determine the concentration of pure alcohol in the expired air, and following the medical examination clinical elements suggestive of the recent consumption of alcoholic beverages were found. In this case the withdrawal of the driving licence is ordered until 8.00 a.m. the next day, but not less than 12 hours.
The correct answer is: C
OUG* - Article 22
[...]
(6^1) If the authorised medical care unit, following the necessary specialist examination, determines that the person who holds the driving licence is unfit medically to drive a motor vehicle, agricultural or forestry tractor or tram, it is obliged, within one day from the date of the finding, to communicate the result of the examination to the traffic police in whose territorial area the unit carries out its activity, to the referring doctor, as well as to the person declared unfit from a medical point of view to drive a motor vehicle, agricultural or forestry tractor or tram. If the person who holds the driving licence is declared medically fit, the authorised medical care unit communicates, within 15 days from the finding, the result of the examination to the referring doctor.
(6^2) On the date of receipt of the communication provided in paragraph (6^1) first sentence, the traffic police withdraws the driving licence of the respective person, making mention of this in the record of withdrawn driving licences and of the sanctions applied to the drivers of motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors or trams. The measure ordered is communicated immediately to the driver provided in paragraph (6). The holder of the withdrawn driving licence no longer has the right to drive motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors or trams starting with the date of communication of the withdrawal measure.
OUG* - Article 24
[...]
(5) The administrative validity of driving licences, by vehicle categories, is as follows:

b) 10 years for driving licences issued for vehicles in categories AM, A1, A2, A, B, B1, BE and Tr1.
[...]
(5^2) The issuance of a new driving licence with a new administrative validity is performed only after the medical examination provided in Article 22.
(5^3) In the cases provided in paragraphs (5^1) and (5^2), the issuance of the respective driving licences is performed without taking a new examination, upon request of the persons who have domicile or residence in Romania within the meaning of Article 23^1 paragraph (2) or who prove that they are studying in Romania for at least 6 months and who hold a driving licence issued by the competent Romanian authorities, under the conditions established by order of the Minister of Internal Affairs, published in the Official Gazette of Romania, Part I.
(5^4) Upon the request of the holder of the driving licence, the competent authority issues, for the situations provided in paragraphs (5^1) and (5^2), a replacement proof of the licence, valid until the issuance of the driving licence, but not more than 30 days.
[...]
OUG* - Article 22^1
(1) The withdrawal of the driving licence is ordered by the traffic police also if its holder could not be subjected to testing to determine the concentration of pure alcohol in the expired air or to preliminary testing of the presence in the body of psychoactive substances, and following the medical examination clinical elements suggestive of the recent consumption of alcoholic beverages or psychoactive substances were found, during the procedure of collecting the biological samples to determine the blood alcohol level or the consumption of psychoactive substances, issuing a replacement proof of the driving licence without the right to drive.
