B - 3.21 gears and big tires
Might be possible, but just borderline. You'll never know until you try. Have you already got access to the trailer to try it out?

The manual helps a tiny bit, but I wouldn't do it.
My 4 door with the 3.21/6 speeed and 265/75/16's is able to tug my popup for short trips without issue as long as I forget 6th gear completely.
My popup is a little lighter (830kg). 35" tires, heavier camper and a shorter wheel base? Lot's of luck.
I plan to re-gear to 4.10 as soon as I am able to find a place to do it within driving distance. Most of the time, my Tahoe serves to pull the popup and the Jk follows.
