Why each option

A 'finish-to-start' relationship dictates that the predecessor activity must be completed before the successor activity can commence.

AActivity A must end before Activity B can end.

This describes a finish-to-finish (FF) relationship, where Activity A must end before Activity B can end.

BActivity A must end before Activity B can begin.Correct

In a finish-to-start (FS) relationship, the predecessor activity (Activity A) must be 100% complete before the successor activity (Activity B) can start. This is the most common type of logical relationship in project scheduling, ensuring sequential execution of tasks.

CActivity A must begin before Activity B can begin.

This describes a start-to-start (SS) relationship, where Activity A must begin before Activity B can begin.

DActivity A must begin before Activity B can end.

This describes a start-to-finish (SF) relationship, which means Activity A must begin before Activity B can finish.
