Correct Answer: B. Increases stopping distance, damages brakes and suspension, and raises rollover risk
Overload compresses tire sidewalls (heat build-up, blowouts), exceeds brake design margin (longer stops), and shifts centre of mass (rollover risk). Fines apply and insurance claims may be denied after an overload-related crash.
