The critical path is the longest path through the network diagram that determines the project completion time. The activities on the critical path have no slack time or flexibility, meaning any delay in these activities will delay the entire project.

The activities with their duration in days are:
A - 2
B - 3
C - 1
D - 5
E - 2
F - 6
G - 1
H - 2

The network diagram would look something like this:

```
A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> F -> G -> H
 \_________________________________/
                    |
                    4
```

The critical path is therefore: A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> F -> G -> H (with a duration of 12 days), and the answer is C.
