Ablock the flow of air supply to the engine
Bengage the jacking gear
Csecure the lube oil pump
Ddecrease control air pressure
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) block the flow of air supply to the engine. When an auxiliary diesel-generator continues to run after attempting to shut it down, the most effective course of action is to block the air supply to the engine. This disrupts the combustion process and stops the engine from running. Engaging the jacking gear (B) or securing the lube oil pump (C) would not address the root cause of the issue, which is the unintended continued operation of the engine. Decreasing control air pressure (D) may not be sufficient to stop the engine from running in this scenario.
