Explanation

The voluntary immobilization of a vehicle is considered stopping if its immobilization is done for a duration of at most 5 minutes. If the immobilization is done for a duration greater than 5 minutes this is considered waiting. Therefore, the difference between stopping and waiting consists in the duration of immobilizing the vehicle.

The correct answer is: B
