(B) Given that $\overline{a} \cdot(\overline{b}+\overline{c})+\overline{b} \cdot(\overline{c}+\overline{a})+\overline{c} \cdot(\overline{a}+\overline{b})=0$. Expanding the terms,we get $\overline{a} \cdot \overline{b} + \overline{a} \cdot \overline{c} + \overline{b} \cdot \overline{c} + \overline{b} \cdot \overline{a} + \overline{c} \cdot \overline{a} + \overline{c} \cdot \overline{b} = 0$. Since the dot product is commutative,$\overline{a} \cdot \overline{b} = \overline{b} \cdot \overline{a}$,etc. Thus,$2(\overline{a} \cdot \overline{b} + \overline{b} \cdot \overline{c} + \overline{c} \cdot \overline{a}) = 0$,which implies $\overline{a} \cdot \overline{b} + \overline{b} \cdot \overline{c} + \overline{c} \cdot \overline{a} = 0$. We know that $|\overline{a}+\overline{b}+\overline{c}|^2 = |\overline{a}|^2 + |\overline{b}|^2 + |\overline{c}|^2 + 2(\overline{a} \cdot \overline{b} + \overline{b} \cdot \overline{c} + \overline{c} \cdot \overline{a})$. Substituting the given values $|\overline{a}|=1, |\overline{b}|=8, |\overline{c}|=4$ and the result from above: $|\overline{a}+\overline{b}+\overline{c}|^2 = 1^2 + 8^2 + 4^2 + 2(0) = 1 + 64 + 16 = 81$. Therefore,$|\overline{a}+\overline{b}+\overline{c}| = \sqrt{81} = 9$.
