Why each option
A project network diagram, used in schedule development to map activity sequences and dependencies, takes the form of a flow chart.
A project network diagram - such as a Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) or Activity-on-Node (AON) diagram - is a flow chart that graphically depicts the logical relationships and sequencing among project schedule activities. Activities are represented as nodes, and arrows show the dependencies between them, creating a visual flow from project start to finish. This format is used in the Develop Schedule process to identify the critical path and model schedule scenarios.
A control chart is a quality management tool used to determine whether a process is stable and performing predictably by plotting data points against control limits over time.
An affinity diagram is a data gathering and organization tool used to group a large number of ideas or issues into natural categories based on their relationships.
A cause-and-effect diagram (also called a fishbone or Ishikawa diagram) is a quality tool used to identify and analyze the root causes of a problem or defect.
