What effect does a single brake malfunction have on the other brakes?

No effect
They become more efficient
They may fail due to overheating
They automatically adjust to compensate

The correct answer is: They may fail due to overheating

A single brake malfunction can have a significant impact on the other brakes. This is because the other brakes are responsible for compensating for the loss of function in the malfunctioning brake. This increased workload can cause the other brakes to overheat, leading to their failure as well. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because a single brake malfunction does have an effect on the other brakes. Option B is incorrect because the other brakes do not become more efficient; rather, they become overworked. Option D is incorrect because the other brakes do not automatically adjust to compensate for the malfunctioning brake.
