When the vehicle in front of you signals the intention to change the direction of travel, such as an animal‑drawn vehicle whose driver signals the intention to change the direction of travel, you are obliged to allow it to perform the manoeuvre in safety conditions.
The correct answer is: B
Regulation** - Article 118
(1) The driver of a vehicle who performs overtaking is obliged:
a) to make sure that the one who follows or precedes him has not signalled the intention to begin a similar manoeuvre and that he can overtake without endangering or hindering the traffic from the opposite direction;
b) to signal the intention to perform the overtaking;
c) to maintain during the overtaking a sufficient lateral distance from the overtaken vehicle;
d) to re‑enter the lane or the initial traffic line after signalling and making sure that he can perform this manoeuvre in safety conditions for the overtaken vehicle and for the other road users.(2) For ensuring the lateral safety distance, when overtaking a bicycle or an electric scooter the drivers of motor vehicles, other than those moving on two wheels, perform this manoeuvre by crossing over the longitudinal marking separating the directions of travel or separating the lanes in the same direction, with at least half of the width of the motor vehicle when its travelling speed is greater than 50 km/h, or at least by infringing these markings when the travelling speed is at most 50 km/h.

Regulation** - Article 119

a) not to increase the travelling speed;
b) to drive as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway or of the lane on which he is travelling.
