Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The critical path is the longest path in a network diagram that determines the earliest completion of a project. This path consists of activities that have zero slack or float, meaning any delay in these activities will delay the entire project. Therefore, it is critical to manage and monitor the activities on the critical path to ensure the project is completed on time. Option A, B, and D are similar to critical path but not precise. Therefore C is the best choice.
