The correct answer is A. late start date.

Explanation:

The slack of the Project is the margin of movement that the Project has. It will allow us to know where and when the Project may be at risk of impact and implement the appropriate measures .

Total Project Slack: is the amount of time a Project activity can be delayed without delaying the Project end date. Project Free Slack: The amount of time that a Project activity can be delayed without delaying its successor's early start date. The Project slack: is the time that a Project can be delayed without delaying the deadline imposed for its completion. Positive slack: late dates are greater than early, time frame beyond the early end to conclude the activity. Negative slack: late dates will be less than early, indicating a delay from the scheduled end. Zero Slack: the early and late dates for each activity are the same, this implies that the activity is critical, it belongs to the critical path of the Project.
