To find the possible solutions we have to solve the inequality:


\begin{gathered} 7+m<20 \\ m<20-7 \\ m<13 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the solution set for the inequality is:


(-\infty,13)

Now we need to look for the options that have numbers in that set.

Option A and B are not a good choice since neither 14 nor 15 are in the set. Therefore, the answer is C.
