Correct answer

Explanation
This question is about what a category A driving licence entitles you to drive. It entitles you to ride a motorcycle with a sidecar - answer A.
The Vehicle Drivers Act states that a category A driving licence entitles you to drive a motorcycle and the vehicles specified for category AM, that is a moped and a light quadricycle. A motorcycle, as defined in the Road Traffic Act, is a two-wheeled vehicle, a two-wheeled vehicle with a sidecar or a three-wheeled vehicle with symmetrically arranged wheels, so a motorcycle with a sidecar falls under category A without any additional entries. A four-wheeled motor vehicle with an unladen mass of up to 550 kg (answer B) is a quadricycle, which requires category B1 or B - category A covers only a light quadricycle (up to 350 kg and 45 km/h). A slow-moving vehicle (answer C) requires category T or B. A category A driving licence also includes A1 and A2, and you can obtain it from the age of 24, or from the age of 20 after holding A2 for two years.
