I don't think all activities would be affected, just the ones on the critical path, so D seems off to me.

I feel like increasing time on a critical path would definitely lead to increased costs, so C might be correct too.

I remember something about resource allocation, but I'm not sure if that applies here. Could B be a possibility?

I think if an activity on the critical path is delayed, the whole project gets pushed back, so A seems likely.
