Correct answer

  • AÚnicamente la placa de matrícula del turismo.Only the car's number plate.
Explanation

The correct option reflects that a trailer does not need its own registration if its maximum authorised mass does not exceed 750 kilograms. In this case, the trailer may carry just the number plate of the car it is attached to. This keeps the rules simpler and avoids the need for the trailer to have an extra registration, as long as it meets this weight requirement.
