For completion of a project, the critical path of the network represents A. Minimum time B. Maximum time C. Maximum cost D. Minimum cost

The correct answer is: A. Minimum time

The critical path is the longest sequence of tasks in a project network diagram. It determines the earliest possible completion time for the project. Any delay on a task on the critical path will delay the completion of the entire project.

The other options are incorrect because:

• The maximum time to complete a project is not necessarily the same as the critical path. The critical path is the longest sequence of tasks, but there may be other sequences of tasks that take longer to complete.
• The maximum cost of a project is not necessarily the same as the critical path. The critical path is the longest sequence of tasks, but there may be other sequences of tasks that cost more to complete.
• The minimum cost of a project is not necessarily the same as the critical path. The critical path is the longest sequence of tasks, but there may be other sequences of tasks that cost less to complete.
