Why does a lightly loaded trailer become more vulnerable to strong crosswinds than a fully loaded one?

Pick an answer

1. Less weight over the wheels means less resistance to being pushed sideways by the wind
2. Only tall trailers are affected by wind, never standard-height ones
3. Wind has the same effect on a trailer regardless of how much cargo it carries
4. A lighter trailer is actually more stable in wind because it's easier for the engine to control
