    Correct Answer
    B. Overtaking not permitted under any circumstances
    Explanation
    Two continuous yellow lines in the middle of the road indicate that overtaking is not permitted under any circumstances. These lines serve as a clear visual indication to drivers that they should not attempt to pass other vehicles in this area. Overtaking in this situation can be dangerous and may lead to accidents or collisions. Therefore, it is important for drivers to adhere to this rule and not attempt to overtake when they see two continuous yellow lines on the road.

    D. The Maximum speed they are allowed to drive.
    Explanation

These signs are put in place to ensure the safety of drivers and other road users by setting a limit on how fast vehicles can travel on a particular road. Exceeding the maximum speed limit can result in fines, penalties, and increased risk of accidents. Therefore, it is important for drivers to adhere to the speed limit indicated on these signs.
