Explanation

(C) Schedule will be impacted because a faster paver accelerates the paving work, compressing the project timeline and potentially requiring the schedule to be re-baselined. (D) Resources will be impacted because a new, specialized piece of equipment typically requires trained or certified operators, may change crew compositions, and introduces new logistics for fuel, maintenance, and parts - all of which alter the resource plan. While cost is explicitly stated as increasing (confirming the budget/cost impact), the question asks what will 'most likely' be impacted from the given choices - schedule compression from the faster equipment and resource changes from operating new machinery are the two most direct operational consequences.
