For this case we must evaluate
x = 2 in each of the inequalities and verify if the inequality is met or not:

Option A:

$6x + 20 <29\\6 (2) +20 <29\\12 + 20 <29\\32 <29$

It is not fulfilled!

Option B:

$7x-10 <11\\7 (2) -10 <11\\14-10 <11\\4 <11$

Is fulfilled!

Option C:

$14x + 10 <37\\14 (2) +10 <37\\28 + 10 <37\\38 <37$

It is not fulfilled!

Option D:

$15x-18 <12\\15 (2) -18 <12\\30-18 <12\\12 <12$

It is not fulfilled!

So, option B is correct, inequality is met
