For answer  A 

When the vehicle to be overtaken is moving with the speed allowed by law DOES NOT mean that it is moving at the MAXIMUM ALLOWED speed by law, it may move at a speed lower than the maximum allowed limit and it is considered a speed allowed by law. In addition, we must take into account that the maximum speed limits are different depending on the category of the driven vehicle. Therefore, the overtaking maneuver can be performed if the maximum speed limit allowed by law is not exceeded, for the category to which the driven vehicle belongs.

For answer  B 

When performing the overtaking you must make sure that the maneuver can be performed in safety conditions. To respect this obligation you must have visibility. Therefore, overtaking is not permitted in any places and situations in which visibility does not allow the execution of the maneuver.

For answer  C 

When road traffic is crowded the overtaking maneuver is not prohibited, but it is important that the maneuver is executed in safety conditions. We must take into account that when through the overtaking maneuver the axis of the road is crossed, the driver of the vehicle must make sure that from the opposite direction no vehicle is approaching and that he has enough space to re-enter the initial lane.
