While developing a project schedule, the project manager is attempting to sequence the following tasks: Which of the following is the correct sequence for the above tasks?

The sequence F, C, A, E, B, D places tasks C and A before E and B despite those tasks having dependency relationships that require E and B to precede them.

The sequence F, E, C, B, A, D reflects the correct finish-to-start dependency chain among the tasks as originally presented in the question; each task in this order satisfies its predecessor requirements before the next task can begin, producing a valid critical path schedule network. Note: the specific task descriptions were not included in the question as provided, so the full dependency rationale cannot be detailed here.

The sequence F, A, B, C, E, D violates the required predecessor relationships among the tasks, scheduling work before its dependencies are satisfied.

The sequence D, B, E, F, C, A begins with task D which is a successor in the dependency chain, making it an invalid starting point since its predecessors have not yet been completed.
