  3. Up to the height of the rear window of the driver’s compartment.
  4. Up to the height of the walls of the freight trunk, excluding the vehicle’s ladders.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Up to the height of the walls of the truck, including the vehicle’s ladders.

Loose materials, such as sand or gravel, are loaded up to the height of the walls of the freight trunk, including the vehicle's ladders. Above this height the load may spill onto the road and endanger road users. The height of the rear door or of the rear window of the driver's compartment is not the limit.
