Correct answer
Protect the projecting end to reduce the effects of scrapes or collisions.
Protect the projecting end to reduce the effects of a possible scrape or collision, taking all appropriate precautions to avoid harm or danger to other road users. Marking alone is insufficient, and this rule does not require covering the entire load. Permitted projection depends on vehicle type, load, dimensions and regulatory limits; if ordinary limits are exceeded, check the special-transport regime and required authorisations.
