Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The delay of an activity without affecting the overall project timeline is determined by its slack or float. The slack is the difference between the latest start time and the earliest start time, or the latest finish time and the earliest finish time, without delaying the project. Without specific project details like a network diagram, it's impossible to calculate the exact slack for activity D. However, given this question assumes knowledge of the project's details, the correct answer is based on those details, which are not provided here. Therefore, the answer provided (C) is based on an assumption of familiarity with the project's specifics.
