Answer & Explanation
Right answer
  1. Sequence Activities.
  2. Control Schedule.
  3. Estimate Activity duration.
  4. Define Activities.

Explanation : The delay between painting and the decoration of walls is a lag that directs a delay in the successor activity. Lags and leads are determined during Sequence Activities in order to accurately define logical relationships between activities. Leads and lags are documented in the activity attributes and serve later on as inputs to Develop Schedule.
