Correct answer: (C) CPM is deterministic and PERT is probabilistic.
Explanation
Classical CPM assigns a single deterministic duration to each activity. Classical PERT uses optimistic, most likely and pessimistic durations to estimate uncertain completion times. Therefore C. This distinction concerns the conventional models used in the question.
