Since editing the manuscript is on the critical path, a delay in this event will directly impact the completion of the entire project. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because a delay in a critical path event affects the overall production process. Option B is incorrect because more resources cannot be devoted to events not on the critical path to speed up the completion of the project.

Option E is incorrect because a delay in a critical path event does not affect the events not on the critical path.
