Selected Answer: C

In a Finish-to-Start (FS) relationship, the successor activity (painting) cannot start until the predecessor activity (plastering) is finished. In this scenario: The mason's plastering work must be finished before the painter can start painting. Since the painter is blocked because plastering is not yet done, this is a classic Finish-to-Start dependency.

Selected Answer: C

C. Finish-to-Start (FS) The relationship between the tasks impacted in this scenario is a Finish-to-Start (FS) relationship. In an FS relationship, the successor task cannot start until the predecessor task has been completed. In this case, the painting task (successor) cannot begin until the plastering task (predecessor) has been finished, which matches the situation described where the painter couldn't start because the mason had not finished the plastering job.
