Critical path and selects the least expensive alternative Ob. Critical path and selects the most expensive alternative Oc. Shortest path and selects the least expensive alternative Od. Critical path and selects the most expensive alternative Question 13 Not yet answered Points out of 1.00 i' Flag question The points between the extreme points of the relationship between time use and resource use represent what? Oa. Time constrained projects 0 b. Resou rce constrained projects Oc. Alternative tradeoffs between time and resources Do.

Flag question This describes the amounts of individual resources an existing schedule requires during specific time periods. Oa. Resource loading Ob. Resource leveling Oc. Scope loading Od. Resource succeeding Question 15 Not yet answered Points out of1.00 l' Flag question This aims to minimize the periodby-period variations in resource loading by shifting tasks within their slack allowances. The purpose is to create a smoother distribution of resource usage. Oa. Resource loading Ob. Resource leveling Oc. Scope loading Od.
