Slack, also known as float, is the amount of time a project activity can be delayed without causing a delay to the project completion date. If Activity C could be delayed without affecting the overall project timeline, it would have a slack greater than 0. However, without specific details from Table 11-7, the general principle is that if an activity is on the critical path (which can be inferred from the question's context), it would have a slack of 0, as delaying it would delay the entire project.
