Explanation

When driving at night, in unfavorable atmospheric conditions that greatly hinder visibility, you will use the dipped-beam headlights. But when dense fog appears, in addition to the dipped-beam headlights, you will also use the rear fog lights of the motor vehicle, and optionally you may also turn on the front fog lights of the motor vehicle (also called front fog lamps), if the motor vehicle is equipped with such lights at the front.

It must be known that when, at night or in conditions of reduced visibility, you approach an uncontrolled intersection or one controlled only by priority signs, you are obliged to signal your presence by alternating the dipped-beam headlights with the main-beam ones (more precisely you switch the low beam with the high beam quickly a few times), provided that no other vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction at a distance of less than 200 meters, because in such a situation the use of the main-beam headlights (high beam) is prohibited and implicitly this type of signalling by alternating the dipped-beam headlights with the main-beam ones is also prohibited.

The correct answer is: C


Recommendations:
Correct use of the lighting and signalling system --> Road Traffic Code - The technical condition of vehicles and the lighting and light-signalling system

Reference articles

Regulation** - Article 114

(1) The drivers of motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors and trams are obliged to use their lighting and/or signalling systems, as follows:
a) the position lights or parking lights when the vehicle is immobilized on the carriageway outside the urban area, from dusk until dawn, during the day when it rains heavily, snows abundantly or there is dense fog or in other conditions that reduce visibility on the public road;
b) the dipped-beam or main-beam headlights, while driving, both in the urban area and outside it, according to the degree of lighting of the public road;
c) the dipped-beam headlights and the fog lights in dense fog;
d) the dipped-beam headlights of motor vehicles that accompany military columns or processions, transport organized groups of people and those that tow other vehicles or transport dangerous goods or products, during the day;
e) the dipped-beam headlights when it rains heavily, snows abundantly or in other conditions that reduce visibility on the road;
[...]
(2) At night, when two vehicles approaching from opposite directions come close, their drivers are obliged, from a distance of at least 200 m, to use the dipped-beam headlights together with reduced speed. When the driver of a motor vehicle, agricultural or forestry tractor approaches a motor vehicle traveling ahead, he is obliged to use the dipped-beam headlights from a distance of at least 100 m.
(3) At night or in conditions of reduced visibility, the drivers of motor vehicles, agricultural or forestry tractors and trams who approach an intersection controlled by traffic lights or by traffic police officers are obliged to signal by alternating the dipped-beam headlights with the main-beam ones if this does not violate the provisions of paragraph (2).
