The theoretical minimum cycle time is equal to the sum of the times of the tasks on the longest path. In this case, the longest path is A-C-E, which has a total time of 3 minutes. Therefore, the theoretical minimum cycle time is 3 minutes, and since each task has a work time of one minute, the best choice is B, which corresponds to a cycle time of 1 minute.
