Correct answer
B. To see the side of the tram and the space behind the vehicle.
Explanation
The question is about positioning the right external mirror in a tram. It should show the side of the tram and the space behind the vehicle - answer B.
The rules on tram equipment require an external mirror on the right side, which gives the tram driver a view to the rear. The side of the tram visible in it lets you judge where the vehicle ends, and the space behind it lets you notice passengers at the doors, cars driving alongside and pedestrians at the stop. Aiming it only at the platform (answer A) does not show the traffic behind the tram. Folding the mirror (answer C) is not allowed, because it is needed when moving off, at stops and at every change of direction.
