Correct answer
C. Covered in a tight load-carrying platform.
Explanation
You carry a loose load, for example sand, gravel or soil, in a sealed (tight) load box, which is also covered so that nothing spills onto the road - answer C. Just placing it below the side boards (A) is not enough, and a speed limit of 30 km/h (B) is not a rule at all.
The Road Traffic Act says directly that a loose load may be placed only in a sealed load box, which must also be secured with suitable covers that prevent the load from spilling onto the road. Sand blown out of a trailer settles on the roadway and on the windscreens of vehicles behind you, and larger stones break windscreens. A tarpaulin or a net stretched over the box is enough.
