Explanation

By definition, the total float for any activity on the critical path is always 0. The critical path is the longest sequence of dependent tasks that determines the minimum project duration. Any delay to a task on this path directly delays the project completion date, meaning there is zero scheduling flexibility (zero float). This is a fundamental principle of Critical Path Method (CPM). Answers B (1), C (2), and D (3) are incorrect because any positive float would mean the activity is not truly on the critical path.
