I definitely recall that a SPI under one indicates we're not on track, so I believe it’s option D for behind schedule.

I’m a bit uncertain about this one. I thought a lower index might mean we’re ahead, but that doesn’t seem right now.

I think a schedule performance index less than one means the project is behind schedule, but I'm not completely sure.

I'm pretty confident on this one. The schedule performance index is a measure of how the project is performing compared to the baseline schedule. If the index is less than 1, that means the project is lagging behind, so the answer is D.
