Correct Answer - Option 2 : A and D only 

Concept

The critical path is the sequence of activities that represents the longest path through a project. It determines the shortest possible project duration.

Critical path can be easily determined with the help of total float calculations. The activities on the critical path are those activities that have total float equal to zero.

∴ Statement A & D are correct.
