  3. Lane markings
  4. Ice

Answer: B. An oily or greasy strip

The center portion of the lane often contains an oily or greasy strip. The manual describes the center third of the lane as the place where oil drippings and debris from cars collect, forming a grease strip. It says the typical center strip usually gives enough traction when the road is dry, and you can ride to either side of the grease buildup while staying within that center third. It also warns against riding on large oil and grease buildups, such as those at busy intersections or tollbooths. That makes the oily or greasy strip the thing often found in the center portion.
