Ha! The expected duration is clearly 4 days. Didn't they teach this in Project Management 101? Oh, wait, that's right, I skipped that class to go bungee jumping. Oops!

This is like a game of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but with project tasks. The answer has to be B - 3 days, it's just right!

I believe it should be 3 because it's the most likely estimate based on the three-point estimating technique.

Hmm, let's see. This three-point estimating thing sounds like a fancy way to guess the project duration. I'll go with C - four days, just to be on the safe side.
