Question

This statement accurately describes the merging of multiple paths in a network diagram during forward pass calculation in project management techniques such as the Critical Path Method (CPM). At merge points, the earliest possible completion time (early finish) of all preceding activities/path(s) is determined, and this value is then assigned as the earliest start time for the merged activity/path. This helps identify the critical path - the longest sequence of activities with zero slack time, and hence the path that determines the overall project duration.
