To resolve resource conflicts, we need to look for activities that share resources and see if they overlap. Activities B and F both require Resource 2 and overlap on Day 7, creating a resource conflict. Therefore, we need to adjust one of these activities to resolve the conflict. In this case, we can move Activity B to start on Day 8 instead of Day 6, which will eliminate the resource conflict.

To identify the critical chain, we need to look for the longest path from start to finish. The critical chain in this case is A-C-E-G-H-I-K.

To identify the critical path, we need to look for the longest path that includes all activities. The critical path in this case is A-C-E-G-H-I-K.

To create feeder buffers, we need to look for the activities that are the most critical in terms of time and/or resources. In this case, Activity F has a total float of 0 days and is the most critical activity. Therefore, we need to place a feeder buffer immediately before Activity F to protect the critical path.

So the correct answer is B.
