Correct answer

B. prohibited.

Explanation

The question is about using a vehicle in a way that causes nuisance through excessive exhaust emissions or excessive noise. This is prohibited - answer B - everywhere, not only in a built-up area (A) or in a residential area (C).

The Road Traffic Act prohibits the driver from using a vehicle in a way that causes nuisance related to excessive exhaust emissions into the environment or excessive noise, and separately requires the vehicle to be built and maintained so that it does not disturb public peace with noise above the permitted level and does not emit harmful substances above the limits. This covers both the condition of the car - a leaking silencer, a removed catalytic converter, an engine blowing black smoke - and the way you drive: "burning rubber", keeping high revs under someone's window, revving the engine while parked. For such driving the law provides for a fine, and if noise or exhaust limits are exceeded, a police officer may retain the vehicle registration certificate. The ban has no local exceptions - it applies on a dirt track in the fields just as in the city centre.

Legal basis: Art. 60 para. 2 point 2 and Art. 66 para. 1 point 2 and 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
