Suppose you are given the linear process depicted below. Numbers in parentheses indicate throughput capacities. No buffers exist between stations, so blocking & starvation rules apply.

Task A $(5)--->$ Task B $(6)--->$ Task C $(4)--->$ Task D $(3)--->$ Task E $(6)$

Suppose you could hire an additional worker, which would double the throughput capacity for any single task. To which task should you assign this worker?
