Explanation

Crashing adds effort to the project activities. Activities that are of fixed duration, for example software testing, would not finish faster with added resources. Crashing is a schedule compression technique to obtain the greatest amount of compression for the least incremental cost. Crashing works for activities where additional resources will shorten the duration. Approving overtime, bringing in additional resources, paying to expedite delivery to activities on the critical path are examples of crashing. Answer option D is incorrect. Activities on the critical path can be crashed. Answer option C is incorrect. Activities with risks can be crashed. Answer option A is incorrect. Additional quality control metrics are not necessary just because Holly elects to crash her project.
