Correct answer: A. On the shoulder, in the same direction as traffic, unless the shoulder is unsafe or too narrow

The government's ORV page says an ORV must "travel on the shoulder (if the shoulder is unsafe or not wide enough, an ORV can be driven on the travelled portion of the road)" and must be driven in the same direction as traffic — the shoulder is the default position, with the main travel lane only as a fallback when the shoulder itself isn't safely usable.
