carts
Explanation:
The term 'cart' is more general in its reference than 'trolley'. Loanwords tend to have more specific references than native terms. A 'cart' can refer to any small vehicle or device pushed by hand to transport any goods or heavy items, whereas a 'trolley' is a specific type of cart.
