Answer: AExplanation: Parametric estimating multiplies a known element-such as the quantity of materials needed-by the time it takes to install or complete one unit of materials. The result is a total estimate for the activity. In this case, 10 servers multiplied by 16 hours per server gives you a 160-hour total duration estimate
