B)Noncritical time
C)Critical time
D)none of the above

Slack time refers to the amount of time a task in a project can be delayed without causing a delay to subsequent tasks or the overall project completion time. In the context of a PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) network diagram, slack time specifically applies to non-critical activities, which are those not on the critical path. The critical path is the sequence of activities that determines the shortest time possible to complete the project. Activities not on this path have some flexibility or "slack" in their scheduling.
