CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

The privilege of flying the National Flag on a motor car is limited to the dignitaries the Flag Code names.
That list includes the President, the Vice-President, the Prime Minister and Governors.
A member of the public may hoist or display the Flag on all days, but that permission is about display and not about vehicles.

Worth noting

Two different rules were relaxed at different times and are easy to merge. Displaying the Flag at home was opened to everyone; flying it on a car was not.
