Which acronym denotes the latest feasible arrival date on schedules?

• A. Last arrival
• B. Late arrival
• C. Latest arrival date
• D. Maximum arrival date

Answer: (C)

In scheduling, you want a clear deadline that tells you the latest date something can arrive and still keep the plan on track. The phrase that best conveys this is “latest arrival date.” It directly names the cutoff point for arrivals that won’t delay downstream tasks, and its acronym would be LAD, matching the idea of a defined, latest permissible date. The other terms aren’t as precise: “last arrival” can be ambiguous about whether it’s a deadline or simply the final item in a sequence; “late arrival” describes a condition (being late) rather than a planned deadline; “maximum arrival date” sounds awkward and isn’t the standard label used in scheduling.
