Your answer to overtake is correct. In German traffic rules, overtaking is allowed here because the road markings show a dashed center line on your side, which means passing is permitted if it is safe.

Additionally, you should ensure the road ahead is clear, and check your mirrors and blind spots carefully before starting to overtake. The mirror view shows a slower vehicle ahead, making overtaking possible. You must also give enough space to the cyclist on the right by moving into the left lane to pass safely.

The third option is incorrect because overtaking usually requires moving out of the right-hand lane to the left lane; staying in the right lane while overtaking is generally not allowed unless you are overtaking a vehicle turning left or in special cases.

In summary, the right procedure is to overtake only when it is safe and permitted by road markings, which applies here.
