The correct answer is letter "A": Crashing is not possible unless there are multiple critical paths.

Explanation:

Project crashing is a technique used to reduce the duration of a project to the least amount of extra cost by decreasing one or more critical activities. All of this is usually arranged in multiple entry charts where each critical activity receives the name of "critical path". It is imperative to have several critical paths so the crashing can be the most effective possible.
