Correct answer
C. 4 persons performing loading activities, going in a standing position holding on to handles.
Explanation
In the photo, a blue agricultural tractor is pulling a red trailer with high sides. In such a trailer you may carry 4 people doing loading work who ride standing up and hold on to handles - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act allows you to carry escort guards, a team of labourers and people doing loading work in a trailer behind an agricultural tractor if there are no more than 5 of them, standing people hold on to handles, nobody rides between the load and the front wall of the trailer, and the speed does not exceed 20 km/h. Four standing people holding on to handles meet these conditions. A team of labourers of 7 people (answer A) exceeds the limit. Three escort guards sitting between the load and the front wall (answer B) occupy a place that is expressly prohibited - when braking, the load moves forward and can crush them against the wall. That is why you never seat people in front of the load, even if there is the most space there.
