The correct response is:

The constant of proportionality is 7. It takes the crew of workers 7 weeks to complete 1 road project.

In this context, the constant of proportionality represents the number of weeks required to complete a single road project, which means that for every one road project, the crew of workers will take 7 weeks to finish it.
