A project manager creates the following network diagram for a project: Which of the following paths determines the critical path?

The correct answer is C. A-D-G-J-M-O. The critical path is the longest duration path through the network diagram, determining the shortest time in which the project can be completed. A-D-G-K-M-O = 1 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 16 A-C-F-I-O = 1 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 14 A-D-G-J-M-O = 1 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 2 = 15 A-B-E-H-L-O = 1…

Explanation

The critical path is the longest duration path through the network diagram, determining the shortest time in which the project can be completed. A-D-G-K-M-O = 1 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 16 A-C-F-I-O = 1 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 14 A-D-G-J-M-O = 1 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 2 = 15 A-B-E-H-L-O = 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 10 So, the critical path is A-D-G-K-M-O = 16 units.
