Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Explanation

By the Four Colour Theorem, every planar graph is 4-colorable, so A matches III. A graph is bipartite if and only if it is 2-colorable, so B matches IV. PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) relies on probabilistic time estimates for activities, matching I, while CPM (Critical Path Method) uses deterministic activity durations, matching II. This gives the mapping A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
