If you begin overtaking and circumstances arise that make it difficult to complete the manoeuvre...

Correct answer

you must return to your lane and warn those travelling behind.

If circumstances arise after starting an overtake that prevent its completion without risk, promptly reduce speed, return to your lane and warn those following using the required signals. Before starting, check that you can complete it and return safely. Do not force the manoeuvre or compel the vehicle being overtaken to use the shoulder.
