Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, it is one of the maneuvers in which it is allowed.

Yes. Entering traffic is one of the maneuvers that may include backing up, as the dark passenger car in the image is doing to leave its space. This is allowed on urban roads and roads outside built-up areas, except on freeways (autopistas) and high-capacity divided highways (autovías).
