Grace has used a Gantt chart to visually show when her tasks are supposed to be done and compare that with the actual progress on each, which allows her to easily assess which projects are ahead of, behind, or on schedule. PERT network analysis is a technique for analyzing and representing the tasks involved in completing a project, linear programming is a mathematical optimization technique for analyzing and solving resource allocation problems, load chart is a tool for measuring and distributing a workload over a certain period of time, and time series analysis is a statistical technique for analyzing time-dependent data. None of these techniques are explicitly mentioned or used in the scenario, making B the best answer.
