In which logical relationship can the successor not finish until the predecessor finishes?

  1. Start-to-start

  2. Start-to-finish

  3. Finish-to-finish

  4. Finish-to-start

The correct answer is: Finish-to-finish

Finish-to-finish is the correct logical relationship. This means that the successor activity cannot finish until the predecessor activity has finished. Start-to-start and start-to-finish relationships do not require the successor activity to wait for the predecessor to finish before starting or finishing. Finish-to-start relationship requires the successor to start after the predecessor finishes, but there is no constraint on the successor's finishing time. Therefore, it is incorrect in this context.
