A is the correct answer.
The critical path provides the minimum time required to complete the project. And it provides max. Time among different paths. So option A is correct.

The critical path will be the longest path in the network requiring the maximum amount of time, but it will represent the minimum duration that is required to complete all the activities i.e. completion of a project.

Answer a is correct. Because critical time wise the longest path but it has minimum duration to complete the whole project.

Critical path is the network of critical activities and less than the critical time the Project can't be completed and without critical activities project can't be completed thus in a network Critical path is the longest path but it indicates Minm time to complete a project.

The path which consumes maximum time resources is critical but in the projection, it is actually the MINIMUM time required to execute the project.
The question is asked in this way.
So, the Correct answer is definetly option B.

Minumum time and longest path is the correct answer because we have to choose the longest path so that we can finish in minimum time. This may sound odd but this is the real answer.

Thank you so much @Deep.

Obesley critical path is longest path but it does not consume max time beacuse length of arrow of activity is not drawen in any scale it is indpended of length of arrow. And also the objective of introducing critical path is to menimise the cost of project. If time increase than cost increase directly.

The critical path is the longest path time-wise, is true. But the question is.
'For completion of a project' so the answer is option A. Because no matter how many resources you put in, you cannot complete the project within the critical path. The critical path is the MINIMUM time in which you can complete the project along the longest path.

In project management, a critical path is the sequence of project network activities which add up to the longest overall duration, This determines the shortest time possible to complete the project.
So, the Answer is A.
So, the Answer is A.
