Correct answer
B. Orange.
Explanation
The question is about the colour of the flag that marks a load sticking out from the front of a lorry. The flag should be orange - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act states that a load sticking out from the front of a vehicle is marked with an orange flag or with two white and two red stripes, so that they are visible from the sides and the front of the vehicle, and during poor visibility also with a white light placed on the part of the load that sticks out furthest forward. The same orange flag, measuring at least 50 by 50 cm, is used to mark a load sticking out at the side. A red flag (answer C) is used only for a load sticking out from the back of a passenger car or of a trailer pulled by it, and a yellow flag (answer A) is not provided for in the rules at all. The marking is meant to make other drivers notice the real outline of your vehicle with its load.
