Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The actual finish time of an activity may affect the start and finish times of the remaining activities in the project, causing a ripple effect. This can alter the earliest start and finish times of the remaining activities, which may impact the critical path of the project. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Options A and C are incorrect, and D is partially correct, as actual finish time is used to calculate the latest start and finish times of the remaining activities, but it is not the only factor in this calculation.
