Right answer and explanation

Right answer: A. Close to the centre line in my lane, without crossing it

When turning left on a road with one lane each way, you must stay in your own lane and not cross into the oncoming lane, so you do not obstruct traffic behind you or oncoming traffic. On one-way streets you may position yourself to the left of the carriageway.
