The expected time can be calculated using the formula:
Expected time = (optimistic + 4*realistic + pessimistic) / 6
Expected time = (4 + 4*6 + 10) / 6
Expected time = 24 / 6
Expected time = 4
Therefore, the expected time is 4 weeks. The closest choice to this is D (6.33 weeks), which is the best choice.
