Initially there is one Critical path i.e Start -4-5-End with 12 days duration.

 

If task 1->2 days takes 2 months more means the duarion of path increases from 10 to 12 days(start 1-2-End)

Since no of critical paths are increased the risk will increase. Answer should be 2.

Thanks

 True. Risk will increase as delay in either of the critical paths will cause a delay in the project
