In evaluating time-cost tradeoffs, we start by crashing the activity on the critical path that:
A) has the lowest crash cost per unit time.
B) has the lowest total crash cost.
C) can be reduced the most.
D) is the longest.
E) none of the above.

The correct approach in evaluating time-cost tradeoffs, particularly when "crashing" a project to reduce its duration, is to start with the activity on the critical path that has the lowest crash cost per unit time. This ensures the most cost-effective reduction in project duration.
