Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most resources required leveling heuristic prioritizes activities with the highest number of workers required. In this case, activities C and D both require 6 workers, which is the highest number of workers required among all activities. Therefore, activities C and D are the highest priority activities when using this heuristic.
