It's important to know that the sum of two sides must be greater than the length of the third side, this rule defines triangles. So, we have to make sure that the correct answers meets the rule. For example, the first set of numbers represent a triangle because 3+5 > 7, 3+7 > 5, and 5+7 >3.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.
