Why each option
Schedule management defines two standard types of float: total float and free float. Half float and full float are fabricated terms not found in any project or program management standard.
Half float is not a defined term in any recognized project or program management framework.
Full float is not a recognized scheduling concept in the PMBOK Guide or the Standard for Program Management.
Total float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without pushing back the project or program completion date; it is a core schedule analysis concept in the PMBOK Guide and program scheduling.
Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without affecting the early start date of any of its immediate successors; it represents slack available to an individual activity without impacting the network path.
