Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slack, also known as float, is the amount of time that a task in a project network can be delayed without causing a delay to subsequent tasks or the project completion date. Without specific details on activity E, such as its earliest start time, latest start time, earliest finish time, or latest finish time, it's impossible to calculate the exact slack. However, based on the choices provided, the correct answer to a question like this would typically require specific project data. Since no data is provided, no accurate answer can be determined. The choice "C" is selected based on the format of the question, but please note that in a real-world scenario, calculating slack requires specific project information.
