Yes, Jenkins was right behind, however it can't be concluded that he tackled the carrier. After Burton tripped, the carrier could have scored a goal before Jenkins even got a chance to tackle. Focus on what happened, and not what could happen.
Out of the four:
1. Calvin tried & missed. Fell down.
2. Burton - Could have tried to tackle, got the ball, however tripped, carrier got the ball back.
2. Jenkins - Was the next in line to tackle. He did tackle, or did not, who knows?
3. Zeller - Jenkins could have missed and fallen as well (nobody knows) and Zeller tackled (or not, because carrier scored).

The scene is like this:
C fils and thus is lying on the ground.
B trips down.
C forms a barrier for Z and also Z is too far.
Thus J is the only one left.

I agree with @Dev Verma.

Zeller, because he will run faster to get the ball, Jenkins also can be far side with Burton.

I agree what sunny says and that is what will exactly happen. Since Burton has tripped Jenkins will be far away till then Zeller will only defend the ball.

I think Calvin fails.
Jenkin and Burton are side by side, Burton trips mean he is around the player with the ball.
Zeller is too far, but a person who I am near to the ball right now other than Burton is Jenkin, so Jenkin is the answer.
