I agree, but C having 2 days of float seems off.

The critical path is A,B,D,E for sure.

I feel like option A is the most likely correct answer since it mentions the critical path we identified in class, but I’m not completely confident about the float days.

I vaguely recall that float is calculated based on the total duration, but I can't remember how to apply it to this specific question.

I think the critical path is definitely A,B,D,E based on the dependencies we discussed, but I’m confused about the float calculations.

I remember we practiced a similar question where we had to identify the critical path, but I’m not sure if it was the same activities.
