Correct answer
Its maximum authorised mass: C up to 750 kg and C+E above 750 kg.
The trailer’s maximum authorised mass, not merely its current actual mass. Category C allows a trailer with maximum authorised mass no greater than 750 kg; above 750 kg the combination requires C+E under Article 4 of the General Driver Regulations. Length and width must comply with technical and road limits but do not replace this threshold for choosing C or C+E. Licence entitlement does not remove other applicable professional or technical requirements.
Legal basis: art. 4 RGCond
