While answering a question on PMChallenge on the website, I bumped into this question with the following choices in terms of answers:
A- The logical relationship that exists between each activities. B- A shared resource between one activity and another. C- Critical Path D- None of the Above
I chose "A" for an answer but it was wrong the they gave the correct answer as "D".
Well, first, starting with the question itself, AON uses boxes or rectangles which represent activities and not circles and as per PMBOK, the activities are linked by one or more logical relationships to show the sequence of activities so the arrows should be represnting these logical relationships.
It is either the Question and/or Answer are wrong or there is something that I did overlook or did not understand properly. Saving Changes...

Hi Rami, I just thought as you've raised about 15 questions this week they must all relate to the same project, but reading them separately it's hard to piece it together, whereas together it could make a great case study. Best regards
Hi Tim,
I just noticed your response. Sorry for the very late reply :-)
You are right, it was difficult to piece them together althought I agree if I was able to piece them together, it would have been a good case study.
Thanks for your input and hope to see more input from you on other discussions. Saving Changes...

I thought it should be A and read this thread and was confused but answered d and on mine it says A is correct. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
They probably corrected the answer or rephrased the question after posting this question. PMI community engagement specialists take all those discussions seriously and look into them. They do a great job addressing concerns. Saving Changes...

The arrows represent the logical relationships that show "the sequence in which the activities are to be performed" (PMBOK 5, p. 156).
I supposed you can make the case that logical relationships may exist between activities that have nothing to do with their sequencing.
But then I saw Michael's post... ugh...
Stephane,
At the time I posted this question, I answered A and it turned out wrong and they mentioned D is the right answer. Maybe they corrected it :D Saving Changes...

Rami,
I can confirm it has now been corrected as the logical relationship that exists between each activity with the following explanation:
"Activity on Node uses boxes or rectangles to represent nodes, which are activities."
