By stating that the MAM 'does not exceed 750 kg', it clearly sets the limit for a trailer to be considered light. The correct answer is 'does not exceed 750 kg' because it sets this limit correctly, unlike the other options, which are wrong and can cause confusion about how trailers are classified.
