I'm a bit confused about the terms. I thought finish on constraints might relate to this, but now I'm not so sure.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think mandatory dependencies are the ones that have to be in a specific order. So, discretionary must be the ones that can be rearranged.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. The key seems to be understanding the difference between mandatory and discretionary dependencies, but I'm not totally sure which one applies here. I'll make my best guess and move on.

Okay, I think I've got this. The activities that can be done in any order are the ones with "discretionary dependencies," so I'm going to go with option B.

Benefits management dependencies? Is that like when I have to decide which snacks to bring to the team meeting? The choices are endless!
