Answer: D. Two of the most experienced employees on the team reported having to shoulder a disproportionate amount of the current workload and asked for an internal transfer.

Explanation:

Social loafing means when an individual exerts less effort in order to achieve a particular goal when the individual is part of a group but when the individual works alone , he or she works harder and exerts more effort.

Based on the information given, the presence of social loafing in the team will be that "Two of the most experienced employees on the team reported having to shoulder a disproportionate amount of the current workload and asked for an internal transfer".

Here, there's dispersion of responsibility as the results in he group group can't be attributed to a particular employee. In such case, the employees may be tempted to wanting to work alone.
