A) A-C-F only 
B) A-B-D-F only 
C) A-B-E-F only 
D) Both A-B-D-F and A-B-E-F are critical paths

The critical path is the longest path in the project network diagram and determines the minimum time required to complete the project. Both path A-B-D-F and A-B-E-F have a duration of 16 days, which is the longest path in the network diagram, making them critical paths. Therefore, the best choice is D, which includes both critical paths. Choices A and C only include one of the critical paths, while choice B includes a non-critical path (B-D) and excludes A-E, which is also part of a critical path (A-B-E-F).
