Activity C has a slack of 5 weeks, but it is not the largest slack. Activity A has the largest slack of 6 weeks, meaning it can be delayed by up to 6 weeks without delaying the overall project. Activities B and E have slack times of 4 and 3 weeks, respectively, but neither of them have the largest slack. Therefore, the best choice is A, Activity A with a slack of six weeks.
