Correct answer: From sunset until sunrise.
Answer options
- AOnly in rain or fog
- BOnly starting one hour after sunset
- COnly if other drivers are using their lights
- DFrom sunset until sunrise Correct

Headlights are required for the whole stretch from sunset to sunrise, and also whenever rain, fog, or dim light makes it hard to see. Waiting an hour past sunset, or using them only in bad weather or when others do, does not meet that rule.
