Hmm, that makes sense too. Fast tracking can free up contingency reserves for other uses.

B? Really? Positive total float on the critical path? That's like saying unicorns are real. A is the only logical choice here.

I think B could also be a possibility, but A does make more sense.

I'm not sure about that. I think C might be the right answer. Releasing contingency reserves sounds like a good way to deal with the compressed schedule.
