Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: From the left side of the overtaken vehicle, while keeping a proper side distance from it.
Overtaking is done on the left of the other vehicle, where its driver expects it and can see the motorcycle. A motorcyclist is very vulnerable, so keeping a good side distance gives room if the other vehicle drifts or if wind from a large vehicle pushes the bike. Passing on the right and close to the vehicle is dangerous, and the speed limit may not be exceeded even briefly.
