For answer  A 

The owners of motor vehicles are not allowed to mount on them lights of another colour and intensity than those approved. Failure to comply with these prohibitions is considered a contravention and is sanctioned with a fine provided in the third class of sanctions and with the retention of the registration certificate, a replacement proof being issued with the right to drive for 15 days.

For answer  B
