Which of the following is true of the triple constraint in projects?
A) The time constraint is the most critical of the three constraints in projects.
B) The three fundamentals that are known to constrain projects are insulated from each other.
C) Changes in one fundamental constraint force changes in the other constraints as well.
D) Cost constraints take precedence over time and scope constraints in all projects.

The triple constraint in projects refers to the three fundamental constraints of time, cost, and scope. Changes in one constraint often requires changes in the others as well. For example, increasing the scope of a project will likely require more time and/or money to complete. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because although time is a critical constraint, it is not necessarily the most critical. Option B is incorrect because the constraints are not insulated from each other, but rather connected. Option D is incorrect because cost constraints do not necessarily take precedence over time and scope constraints in all projects; it depends on the specific project and its goals.
