Explanation

Resource leveling heuristics limits the amount of time a resource is allowed to work in a given time period. This action typically increases the project duration. By adding additional resources to effort-driven activity the project can still complete, often, in the same schedule, otherwise the duration of the project will increase. Answer option B is incorrect. Resource leveling heuristics does not change the project scope. Answer option A is incorrect. This is not an instance of cutting the project scope. Answer option D is incorrect. The project scope baseline is not affected by resource leveling heuristics.
