The correct answer is A. An activity with zero day duration. Milestones in a Gantt chart are represented as activities with zero duration because they mark a point in time, not a span of work.

Why each option

Milestones in a Gantt chart are represented as activities with zero duration because they mark a point in time, not a span of work.

AAn activity with zero day durationCorrect

A milestone represents a significant point or event in a project schedule and has no work effort or elapsed time associated with it. In a Gantt chart, this is depicted as an activity with zero-day duration, typically shown as a diamond symbol at the specific date, distinguishing it from task bars that span a time range.

BAn activity with one day duration

An activity with one-day duration represents an actual work task, not a milestone; milestones have no duration by definition.

CActivity-on-node with a finish-to-finish precedence

Activity-on-node with finish-to-finish precedence describes a dependency relationship in a network diagram (PDM), not how milestones are displayed in a Gantt chart.

DEnd-to-end bar graph showing the time to complete a task

An end-to-end bar graph showing time to complete a task describes how regular schedule activities are displayed in a Gantt chart, not milestones.
