Answer:

Explanation:

A is not possible, because 5 + 4 < 10 (doesn't satisfly inequality.)
B is also not possible => 5 + 7 < 13 (doesn't satisfy inequality.)
D is also not possible => 4 + 5 < 10 (doesn't satisfy inequality)

So, the answer is C, cause the sum of 2 sides is always more than the other one.
