Resource leveling in project scheduling aims to:
Choose the correct answer
Always reduce project duration
Reduce peak resource demands and smooth resource utilization by shifting non-critical activities within their float, often at the expense of project duration
Increase resource peaks
Remove all float from the schedule
Correct Answer
B. Reduce peak resource demands and smooth resource utilization by shifting non-critical activities within their float, often at the expense of project duration

Resource leveling: shifts activities (within their float for non-critical; allows duration extension for critical) to reduce resource peaks. Heuristic methods: minimum float priority (critical activities done first), minimum slack, most resources. May extend project duration. Resource smoothing: same as leveling but does not extend project duration.
