Alright, let's think this through. If the schedule's fixed, then the only way the project can be early is if somebody invents a time machine. I'm gonna go with B - one day late, no magic required.

Haha, I bet the project manager is sweatin' bullets right now. But hey, at least they have a fixed schedule, right? That's like saying 'I have a fixed budget' - good luck with that!

C'mon, it's gotta be C. Two days late on a critical task means the whole project is gonna be two days late. Nothin' like a good old-fashioned schedule slip to keep things interesting!

Hmm, I think the answer is B. If Stephen's task is on the critical path and it's delayed by two days, it'll push the entire project's end date back by one day. Gotta love those critical path dependencies!

That makes sense. So, it all depends on whether Activity B is on the critical path or not.

No, if Stephen's task is not on the critical path, then his two days of lateness may not impact the project end date at all.

So, the answer is B. Stephen's delay will impact the project end date by one day.

Yes, that's correct. The critical path is crucial for project scheduling.

But what if Stephen's task is not on the critical path? Would it still delay the project end date by one day?

I agree with you, if Stephen's task is on the critical path, it will delay the project end date by one day.
