Expected activity completion time can be calculated (where a = optimistic completion time, b = pessimistic completion time, and m = most likely completion time) as:
A) t = (a + m + b)/3
B) t = (2a + 2m + 2b)/6
C) t = (a + 5m + b)/6
D) t = (a + 4m + b)/6

The most appropriate formula to calculate the expected activity completion time is the 3-point estimation, and the formula for this is t = (a + 4m + b)/6. This formula gives more weight to the most likely completion time (m) while still considering the optimistic and pessimistic estimates. Therefore, option D is the best choice.
