The latest start of an activity is always

Why is this the answer?

For an activity i-j, the latest start time is LST = TL(j) - duration. The latest event time of the preceding node, TL(i), is the minimum of the latest start times of activities leaving that node. Hence an activity's LST is always greater than or equal to TL(i), with equality for at least one controlling outgoing activity.
