Explanation
The change in the amount of labor Ned is allowed to use will cause his project schedule to increase thereby affecting the project end date. Crashing the project will allow Ned to add more resources while still keeping each resource to a maximum of 25 hours per week. Answer option D is incorrect. Ned likely does not have control over descoping decisions. Answer option C is incorrect. Reducing the project labor is what resource leveling does. Answer option B is incorrect. Adding risk mitigation won't necessarily help Ned finish the project faster.
