Explanation

The road traffic legislation provides that when on the traffic lanes there are markings by lane‑selection arrows you move into position on the traffic lane corresponding to the intended direction of travel at least 50 metres before the intersection.

However, when you drive on a road with two traffic lanes in one direction wishing to change the direction of travel to the right, and on those lanes there are no markings with lane‑selection arrows, you must move into position on the right lane from at least 50 metres before the intersection. It is wrong from the point of view of safety and traffic flow to move into position on the left lane in order to perform a right turn. If you move into position on the left lane you must give priority to those on the right lane because you will enter their lane when turning to the right and you must respect the rules regarding lane travel.

The correct answer is: B
