Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Maximizing flow time is not an effectiveness criterion for scheduling. Effectiveness criteria typically aim to minimize metrics such as waiting time, completion time, and work-in-process (WIP) inventory, or to maximize utilization, not to increase the time a product spends in the production process.
