A. It is the longest path through the network diagram, that denotes the shortest
amount of time to complete the project and will have the least amount of total float
B. It is the longest path through the network diagram and will always have zero
total float
C. It is the longest path through the network diagram and will have the least free

Planning - Time Management
The critical path will always be the longest path through the network diagram and
can have positive, negative or zero total float. It will also be the path that has the
least amount of total float (not the least free float). The perceived "importance" of
the activities themselves do not come into play.
