To determine the first activity to crash without affecting the critical path or wasting resources, one must identify the critical path and its activities. Crashing an activity means reducing its duration at additional costs, but it's only beneficial if it shortens the project's overall duration. Without specific details on the project's activities, durations, and their relationships, the general approach involves identifying the activity on the critical path with the lowest cost to crash per unit of time. Since the question lacks these details, the answer provided is based on the assumption that crashing is possible and beneficial by at least 1 day, making option B the most suitable choice given the provided options.
