The correct answer is: You are in a "passing zone" and it is safe to pass other vehicles if no oncoming traffic is present.

When driving on a roadway with one solid yellow line and one broken yellow line with the broken line on your side, it means that you are in a "passing zone" and it is safe to pass other vehicles if no oncoming traffic is present. The solid yellow line indicates that there is limited visibility, so passing should not be attempted; however, the broken yellow line on your side indicates that passing is allowed under safe conditions. Option A is incorrect because even though one side of the roadway is marked with a solid yellow line, the broken line on your side still allows for passing. Option C is incorrect because there is no indication that only right turns are permitted in this area. Option D is incorrect because it is referring to another unrelated rule about following vehicles too closely.
