C) sounds like a joke answer. Of course ADM and PDM both involve CPM calculations, the difference is in the diagramming approach.

D) is a bit too simplistic. Both methods use arrows and boxes, the difference is in how they represent the relationships.

A) seems to be the correct answer. ADM is limited to finish-to-start relationships, while PDM can handle other types like start-to-start and finish-to-finish.
