Answer: B and C

Explanation:

the triangle inequality theorem states that any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side. now with this rule, let's apply it to all options!

option a:

7 + 5 > 6 .. yes!

6+ 7 > 5 .. yes!

5 + 6 > 7 .. yes!

option b:

9 + 12 > 19 .. yes!

12 + 19 > 9 .. no!

19 + 9 > 12 .. no!

option c:

7 + 11 > 18 .. no!

11 + 18 > 7 .. no!

18 + 7 > 11 .. yes!

option d:

6 + 8 > 11 .. yes!

8 + 11 > 6 .. yes!

11 + 6 > 8 .. yes!
