This one is a bit tricky but I think that C - Crash the schedule is correct. The reason I say this is because of one sentence that's included in the question. "Budget is not a concern." Fast tracking does not typically ever add additional costs but quality could suffer as risks are increased. Crashing adds resources which will incur costs. Just some food for thought. https://www.simplilearn.com/fast-tracking-vs-crashing-article

C. Crash the schedule. Crashing the schedule involves expediting certain activities by adding resources or increasing the intensity of the work to complete the activities faster. This will reduce the project duration and help the project manager to complete the tasks on time. It is the best option when time is a critical constraint, and budget is not a concern.

I'd agree because fast tracking only works if there are no dependencies on other tasks being completed first, which they don't discuss either. So crashing and dumping in cash it is.
