A
Lead
B
Network re-planning
C
Slack
D
Lag
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lag is the delay of a successor activity and represents time that must pass before the second activity can begin. There are no resources associated with a lag. Lag may be found in activities with all relationship types: finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, and start-to-finish.

Detailed explanation-2: -In project management, lag refers to the delay before the next activity in a project’s timeline can begin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Difference Between Lead and Lag In lead time, you have overlap between the first and the second activity, while in lag, there is a delay between the first and the second activity.

Detailed explanation-4: -If lag is associated with delay, “lead” is the amount of time by which a successor task can be advanced with regard to its predecessor. If adding lag will result in delaying a project, adding lead to dependent tasks on critical path may reduce the time required to complete the project.
