Final answer:

Motorcycles and mopeds are entitled to the whole of a lane when on the road, not just a portion of it. This full lane usage right is both a matter of legal entitlement and safety.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question 'Motorcycles and mopeds have a right to use:' refers to the rights and rules motorcyclists and moped riders have when it comes to lane usage on roads. The correct answer to the question is d. The whole of a lane. Both motorcycles and mopeds are entitled to use the full width of a lane, just like any other vehicle. This means they can ride anywhere within a lane, and they are not restricted to any one side of the lane. Ensuring they have the whole lane to themselves is vital for safety, as it allows them room to maneuver, avoid obstacles, and be more visible to other motorists.

Discussing the dynamics of how motorcycles turn, such as the example of a motorcycle turning to the left when the rider pulls back lightly on the right handlebar due to countersteering, is a physics concept and not directly relevant to the question about lane rights.
