Correct answer

A. As long as is necessary to overtake other vehicles
B. As long as you are driving behind a vehicle which is overtaking in the left-hand lane

Comment

The left lane may generally only be used for the purpose of overtaking. If the preceding vehicle overtakes, it can be assumed that the following car driver will also overtake. Therefore, it is allowed here to use the left lane. In all other cases, you have to drive on the right.
