You adjust the schedule and find that two activities previously scheduled to start sequentially can be started at the same time. This is an example of:

A. Crashing
B. Fast tracking
C. Resource leveling
D. Adjusting the resource calendar

This is an example of Fast Tracking (option B). Fast tracking is "performing more activities in parallel".
