Explanation
The project will be just one day late due to this delay. The path ADGJ takes a total of 15 days. If Activity D takes a total of 13 days (i.e. 12 + 1), then the path will now take 27 days to complete. This causes the critical path to shift to ADGJ and the project will end on day 27 rather than day Answer options D, B, and C are incorrect. These are not the valid answers, as the project will now take 27 days to complete, rather than 26.
