Answer 1

d. It determines the critical path for the completion of a series of interrelated activities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Critical Path method is a method to lay out the different steps or interrelated activities of a project, in a graphical manner, that shows the interrelations, the time each activity takes to complete, the different alternatives or paths for project completion, and the total completion time for the project.

It also shows the amount of time a delay in one of the activities would delay the project as a whole.
