Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crashing the project in the most cost-efficient manner would involve the following steps: 
- Crash task A by 3 days (cost increase of $75)
- Crash task D by 1 day (cost increase of $20)
- Crash task E by 2 days (cost increase of $60)

This would result in a total cost increase of $155, bringing the total project cost to $220. Therefore, the best choice is B.
