Correct answer
Slow down or move onto a practicable shoulder to let following traffic pass.
Slow down or move onto a practicable shoulder as soon as possible to let following traffic pass, as required by Article 86.3. Do not invite another driver to overtake when it is unsafe. Keep to the right edge where required and do not accelerate or obstruct overtaking. An arm or indicator invitation applies only when a safe overtake remains possible despite being unable to keep fully right.
