Use the project described in the table to determine the total resources required for activity D if a worker is expected to work half-time (four hours per day)on this project. $$\begin{array} { | l | l | l| }
\hline \text { Activity } & \text { Duration } & \text { Predecessor } \
\hline \text { A } & 5 \text { days } & - \
\hline\mathrm { B} & 4 \text { days } & \text { A } \
\hline \mathrm { C}& 5 \text { days } & \text { A } \
\hline \mathrm { D } & 6 \text { days } & B \
\hline\mathrm { E }& 6 \text { days } & C, D \

The table shows the number of hours required for each activity and the number of workers needed. If a worker is expected to work half-time (four hours per day), then the number of hours needed for each activity would be divided by 2.

For activity D, the total resources required would be: 
(6/2) + (6/2) + (10/2) = 3 + 3 + 5 = 11 hours

Therefore, the total resources required for activity D if a worker is expected to work half-time would be 11 hours, which is option C.
