Why does a doubles or triples combination require checking air brake function at each trailer, not just the tractor?

Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 112 (Doubles/Triples): Each trailer's brakes are supplied through separate lines and connections that could fail independently
Why
Because air travels through separate connections to each trailer, a failure isolated to one unit's line or valve would not necessarily show up if only the tractor's brakes were checked, so each trailer needs its own verification.
