We would apply the triangle inequality theorem which states that for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than or equal to the length of the remaining side. Looking at the given triangle, the length of the two given sides are 14 inches and 8 inches. The sum of the length of the two sides is

14 + 8 = 22

looking at the given options, they are lesser than 22. Thus, they can all form the remaining sde of the triangle.
