In order to calculate the late start time for task number 5, we need to work backwards from the project's deadline. The latest possible completion time for the project is day 19. Task 5 has a duration of 3 days, and its successor task (task 7) has a duration of 2 days. Therefore, task 5 must finish no later than day 16 (day 19 - 2 days for task 7 - 3 days for task 5). Since task 5 has a duration of 3 days, its late start time is 8 days (day 16 - 3 days for task 5 = day 8). Therefore, the correct answer is C) 8 days.
