I don't know, guys. If the project schedule is fixed, then the delay might not impact the end date at all. Maybe the answer is A?

Okay, let's think this through. If Stephen is two days late on Activity B, that means the entire project will be delayed by two days, right? So, the answer must be C.

Hmm, let's take a closer look at the diagram. Activity B is on the critical path, so any delay in that activity will directly affect the project end date.
