Hello, I Am BrotherEye

Answer:

A. Yes a triangle can be constucted

Explanation:

All you have to do is use the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of two side lengths of a triangle is always greater than the third side. If this is true for all three combinations of added side lengths, then you will have a triangle.
