The critical path is the longest path that determines the total project duration. In this case, the longest path is B-D-E-F-H, which has a total duration of 18 (2 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 2). Therefore, choice B is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not include all the activities on the critical path.
