Why each option

A project manager is building a visual tool that displays project activities, their estimated begin and end times, to identify overlaps and determine the project's overall scheduled completion.

AGantt chartCorrect

A Gantt chart is a bar chart that illustrates a project schedule, showing the start and end dates of activities, their durations, and dependencies, making it ideal for visualizing activity overlaps and the overall project timeline. It provides a clear graphical representation of tasks over time, which helps in tracking progress and managing project schedules effectively.

BWork Breakdown Structure

A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work, not a scheduling tool to visualize activity overlaps or timelines.

CCritical Path

The Critical Path is the longest sequence of activities determining the minimum project duration, but it is not a visual chart designed to display all activity overlaps and schedules.

DPERT chart

A PERT chart is a flow-chart like diagram showing task dependencies and estimated durations, often used for uncertain task times, but a Gantt chart is specifically designed for visualizing scheduled overlaps and timelines in a bar chart format.
