A guides the drivers of vehicles in reduced visibility conditions;
B prohibits its crossing;
C prohibits overtaking on the section on which it is applied.

Explanation

For answer  A 

The road legislation does not provide anything in this regard.


For answer  B 

The longitudinal marking consisting of a single or double continuous line prohibits its crossing, regardless of the situation.


For answer  C

Overtaking is allowed on that section, as long as the continuous longitudinal marking is not crossed or passed over. If for overtaking the continuous longitudinal marking would not be crossed, the overtaking would be in compliance with the rules.
