What position should a driver be in when making a left turn from a two-way street?

In the center of the lane
In the center of the intersection
As close to the left edge of the intersection as possible
As close to the right edge of the intersection as possible

The correct answer is: As close to the left edge of the intersection as possible

When making a left turn from a two-way street, the driver should be as close to the left edge of the intersection as possible in order to safely navigate the turn. Being in the center of the lane (A) or the center of the intersection (B) can be dangerous as it leaves less room for error and increases the chances of colliding with other vehicles. Being close to the right edge of the intersection (D) is also incorrect as it would result in an illegal turn into the wrong lane. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate position for making a left turn from a two-way street.
