Activity I was originally scheduled to take two days, but it will now take eight days. This delay of six days will impact the start of activity K and activity J, which depend on the completion of activity I. Activity K, which was originally scheduled to start on day 8, will now start on day 14, and activity J, which was originally scheduled to start on day 9, will now start on day 15. As a result, the total project early completion time will increase by three or four days. Therefore, the correct choice is C.
