Answer and Explanation:
The correct answer is B.
Monte Carlo analysis is a form of What-If Scenario Analysis. This technique is used to perform schedule network analysis to compute different scenarios. The outcome of this analysis is used to assess the feasibility of the project schedule. Run charts are used in quality management and Tornado diagrams are used in risk analysis. Resource leveling is used to keep resource usage at constant level.
