The change of direction to the left is permitted when the driver of the vehicle is positioned on the left row and the road has two rows per direction. The road traffic legislation expressly provides that at intersections without lane delimitation markings two rows of vehicles will be formed and the drivers of the vehicles who want to change direction to the left occupy in motion, at least 50 meters before the intersection, the row next to the axis of the road or next to the marking that separates the directions, namely the left row.
The change of direction to the left is not performed in the situation in which the road you want to enter, on the left, is signalled with the sign “Traffic prohibited in both directions”. This sign prohibits the traffic in both directions for all vehicles.
The sign “Dead end” does NOT prohibit you from entering that street, but informs you that the respective road is without exit. Therefore, the change of direction to the left is permitted when the street you are about to enter is signalled with the sign “Dead end”.
The correct answer is: B
Regulation** - Article 107

(2) At the intersections without lane delimitation markings, the drivers of the vehicles occupy in motion, at least 50 m before the intersection, the following positions:
a) the row next to the curb or shoulder, those who want to change direction to the right;
b) the row next to the axis of the road or next to the marking that separates the directions, those who want to change direction to the left. When the traffic takes place on one-way roads, the drivers of vehicles who intend to turn left are obliged to occupy the row next to the curb or the shoulder on the left side;
c) either of the rows, those who want to go straight ahead.
