Explanation

Finish-to-start (FS) is the most common task dependency: the predecessor task must finish before the successor task can start. Here, writing the document (predecessor) must be completed (finish) before the system configuration (successor) can begin (start) - a classic FS relationship. Start-to-start (A) means both tasks begin at the same time. Start-to-finish (B) means the successor cannot finish until the predecessor starts - a rarely used relationship. Finish-to-finish (C) means both tasks must end at the same time. Only finish-to-start correctly captures 'document must be written before configuration begins.'
