AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) overheating because of slipping shoes. When an additional load is applied to a diesel engine using an inadequately inflated air bladder clutch unit, the clutch will begin to slip. This slipping of the clutch shoes against the clutch drum will generate excessive heat, leading to overheating of the clutch assembly. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the consequences of a slipping clutch in this scenario.
