Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Activity E has four days of float. The entire project will take 19 days to complete. Float, also called slack, is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without affecting any subsequent activities. There are two types of floats available: Free Float: It is the amount of time a schedule activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any immediately following schedule activities. Total Float: It is the total amount of time that a schedule activity may be delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date, or violating schedule constraint. Float is calculated by using the critical path method technique.
Incorrect Answers:
B, C: These are incorrect calculations of the amount float available for Activity
D: Activity E is not on the critical path.
