The correct answer is D
The maximum rated weight (Gross Vehicle Mass) of your vehicle plus trailer can be up to 6000kg on a full licence, but only 4500kg if you're on a learner or restricted licence. This means that you can't pull a trailer rated at 5000kg with a 2000kg vehicle, even if you're only carrying 1500kg of materials.
Towing another vehicle: licence restrictions for cars
On a learner licence your vehicle plus trailer must not exceed 4500kg.
On a full licence your vehicle plus trailer must not exceed 6000kg.
