Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When using the most successors leveling heuristic, the top priority activity is the one with the greatest number of successors. In this case, Activity A has three successors (B, C, and D), while all other activities only have one successor. Therefore, Activity A is the top priority activity when using this heuristic.
