# ExplanationWhen towing a trailer, the dynamics of driving change significantly due to the increased weight and length of the vehicle combination. This affects braking distances and maneuverability. The general rule for safe driving is to increase the following distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you to allow for these changes and to provide adequate time and space to react to traffic conditions and avoid collisions.Option A suggests maintaining the usual following distance as when not towing a trailer, which does not account for the increased stopping distance required when towing. Options B and C suggest doubling and tripling the usual following distance, respectively. Doubling or tripling the distance provides a safer buffer, considering the increased weight and potential for longer stopping distances.Given these considerations, doubling the distance (Option B) is often recommended as a balanced approach, providing significantly more safety than normal without being overly cautious as tripling might be. However, the exact multiplier can depend on specific conditions such as road type, weather, and trailer weight.# AnswerB
