The critical path in a project schedule is best described as the path that:

• a.Carries the most float, giving the schedule flexibility
• b.Is the shortest route through the network
• c.Is the longest chain of dependent activities, has zero float, and sets the shortest possible completion time✓
• d.Contains the fewest individual tasks
