All the choices represent different ways of calculating or representing slack in a project schedule. Slack, or float, is the amount of time that a task in a project can be delayed without causing a delay to subsequent tasks or the project's overall deadline. Choice A (LS - ES > 0) calculates slack as the difference between the latest start time (LS) and the earliest start time (ES). Choice B (LF - EF > 0) calculates slack as the difference between the latest finish time (LF) and the earliest finish time (EF). Choice C directly states that slack is greater than zero. All these conditions indicate allowable slippage in an activity's schedule along a slack path.
