Question:

The trailer service brakes should be tested with the hand control, and controlled during normal operation by _________.

A The foot pedal.
explanation

Test trailer service brakes: Check for normal air pressure, release the parking brakes, move the vehicle forward slowly, and apply trailer brakes with the hand control (trolley valve), if so equipped. You should feel the brakes come on.
This tells you the trailer brakes are connected and working. (The trailer brakes should be tested with the hand valve but controlled in normal operation with the foot pedal, which applies air to the service brakes at all wheels.)
