  3. With a white light-reflecting triangle. The length of each triangle side should be 60cm.
  4. With a red flag tied to the tip of the oversize freight.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: With a red light-reflecting triangle. The length of each triangle side should be 60cm.

Oversize freight that sticks out from the rear of the vehicle is marked with a red light-reflecting triangle, each side of which is 60 cm long. Reflective material is clearly visible at night too, when the lights of a vehicle behind hit it, and red is the accepted color for the rear of a vehicle. A flag does not reflect light, so it is not enough in the dark.
