Finish-to-start
Start-to-finish
Finish-to-finish

The correct answer is: Start-to-finish

The correct answer is B. Start-to-finish. In a Start-to-finish logical relationship, the successor activity cannot finish until the predecessor activity starts. This means that the successor cannot be completed until the predecessor has started. This type of relationship is indicative of dependencies where there is a constraint that dictates the successor activity's finish is tied to the start of the predecessor activity. The other options are: A. Finish-to-start: In a Finish-to-start logical relationship, the successor activity cannot start until the predecessor activity finishes. This is the most common type of logical relationship in project management. C. Finish-to-finish: In a Finish-to-finish logical relationship, the successor activity cannot finish until the predecessor activity finishes. D. Start-to-start: In a Start-to-start logical relationship, the successor activity cannot start until the predecessor activity starts.
