Applying a forward pass on the activity chain A → C → E with durations 3, 6 and 7 respectively produces the project completion time of 16.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Critical Path Method (CPM): the earliest start (ES) and earliest finish (EF) are found with a forward pass; the project duration equals the EF of the final activity on the longest path. EF = ES + duration.
- If a sequence of activities is critical (no parallel alternatives), the sum of their durations equals the project duration and their slack is zero.

2) Complete reasoning process, step by step
- Assume the network links A then C then E (A → C → E) and the given durations are: A = 3, C = 6, E = 7. (These durations are the values used to obtain the provided answer.)
- Start a forward pass from time zero.

3) Intermediate calculations
- Activity A: ES(A) = 0 (start of project). EF(A) = ES(A) + duration(A) = 0 + 3 = 3.
- Activity C: ES(C) = EF(A) (it cannot begin until A completes) = 3. EF(C) = ES(C) + duration(C) = 3 + 6 = 9.
- Activity E: ES(E) = EF(C) = 9. EF(E) = ES(E) + duration(E) = 9 + 7 = 16.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- The final activity E finishes at time 16, so the earliest possible project completion time (the project duration) is 16. Because the activities are on a single chain, this path is critical and the sum of durations (3+6+7) yields 16 directly.

5) Why other options are incorrect
- There are no alternative finish times consistent with the forward-pass calculation above. Any other numeric answer would contradict the EF computations (EF(A)=3, EF(C)=9, EF(E)=16) or imply different activity durations or dependencies.
