Correct answer
Leave lateral clearance for the motorcycle and the rider’s body.
Leave clearance for both the motorcycle and your body, which can move sideways when leaning. Having the wheels inside your lane does not guarantee that your head or the rest of your body is inside it too. Keep the whole motorcycle and your body within your lane, choosing a speed and path that allow that clearance. Prepare for the bend in advance and avoid abrupt movements.
