Correct answer
At least 50 metres, and more if needed to stop without colliding.
At least 50 metres under Article 54.2 because the bus is longer than 10 metres. That condition and MAM over 3,500 kg are independent criteria. You must also leave enough space to stop without colliding if the vehicle ahead brakes sharply: conditions may require more than 50 metres. The exceptions for built-up areas, overtaking prohibited, multiple lanes in the same direction or saturated traffic do not apply in this scenario. Tunnels have their specific rule.
