CRITICAL Path:
A critical path consumes maximum resources. It is the longest path and consumes maximum time.
So the order of the network is 1-2-3-5-6-7-8-9.
Option B is correct.
A critical path consumes maximum resources. It is the longest path and consumes maximum time.
So the order of the network is 1-2-3-5-6-7-8-9.
Option B is correct.

Exactly @Neeraj. But according to the definition, critical path is the longest path and consumes maximum time. So, they are contradicting each other.

I think it is A.

Option D is the correct answer. The dummy activity doesn't consume any resource or time. So we don't consider dummy activity while choosing a critical path.

@ALL.
As an Industrial engineer, one of the function in a project is to obtain an optimal solution. However, I would suggest those against option B to study the algorithm of network diagram as regarding selecting the critical path(s).

The Crictical path can contain Dummy activities.
So answer B is right.
So answer B is right.
