Correct answer: the trailer is moving on a smaller radius than the tractor.

When negotiating a turn with a vehicle combination, the wheels of the trailer move along an arc with a smaller radius than the wheels of the towing vehicle.

The driver must negotiate the bend with an appropriate margin to avoid the trailer hitting the kerb, verge, or another obstacle.
