Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Gantt charts are visual devices used to show the duration of each activity in a project. They do not show precedence relationships or use the four standard spines of methods, materials, manpower, and machinery. While they can be created using expensive software, they do not inherently have to be expensive. The critical path is not explicitly identified on a Gantt chart, but can be determined by analyzing the longest path of interconnected activities.
