Correct answer
Whichever lane best suits their destination.
You may use the lane best suited to your destination without obstructing other vehicles. Article 33 excludes motorways and dual carriageways from this rule. Leave it only to prepare for changing direction, overtaking, stopping or parking, observing signs and the conditions for each manoeuvre. Lanes reserved for particular vehicles or manoeuvres are excluded from the ordinary lane count for this purpose.
