Correct answer

  • CSí, pero con autorización, tras superar una prueba.Yes, but with authorisation, after passing a test.
Explanation

A 2,500 kg motor vehicle with a 1,200 kg trailer forms a combination of 3,700 kg: it exceeds 3,500 kg but not 4,250 kg, so it can be driven with a B licence after passing the test or training for code 96 (Article 5 of the General Driver Regulations). It does not depend on how long you have held the licence.
