Explanation
The correct answer is C. The Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM) is the standard technique for building a project network diagram that shows logical dependencies between activities (e.g., Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start). It is specifically designed for creating schedules that reflect task sequencing and dependencies. The Waterfall method (A) is a project lifecycle methodology, not a scheduling tool. The Simulation method (B) (e.g., Monte Carlo) is used for risk and schedule risk analysis. Cost ratio analysis (D) is a vendor evaluation and cost estimation technique.
