    The correct answer is B
     
    Correct. Heavy motor vehicles and vehicles fitted with a flat deck or tray for carrying goods that are parked on the street at night must display a rear-facing red light that is visible at least 100m away and is on the side of the vehicle closest to the centre line. More information is here. http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/roadcode/heavy-vehicle-road-code/about-driving/how-to-park-safely.html. If it's an over-dimension vehicle (i.e. one with a projecting load) then the lights must be visible from at least 200m away during the hours of darkness.
