Activity D (laying out the showroom) has the greatest amount of slack, at 4 days. This means that it can be delayed by up to 4 days without delaying the overall project completion time. Activities A, B, C, E, F, and G have no slack, meaning that any delay in these activities would delay the completion time of the project. Therefore, activity D is the best choice for delaying if necessary, without impacting the overall project.
