Explanation
Milestones (C) are schedule activities with zero duration that represent a significant event, achievement, or checkpoint in the project - such as 'Design Phase Complete' or 'Regulatory Approval Received.' They do not represent work but serve as markers to track progress. Critical paths (A) are sequences of dependent tasks that determine the shortest possible project duration; they consist of activities with actual durations. Resources (B) are people or materials assigned to activities, not activities themselves. A Work Breakdown Structure (D) is a hierarchical decomposition of project scope into deliverables, not a scheduling concept involving zero-duration activities.
