Explanation:

The Triangle Inequality states that the sum of the two largest side lengths of a triangle must be greater than the length of the largest side. Let's check these answers.

A: Since 18 + 26 > 46 is a false statement, A is not the answer.

B: Since 18 + 26 > 49 is false, B is not the answer.

C: Since 18 + 6 > 26 is false, C is not the answer.

D: Since 18 + 26 > 32 is false, D is the answer.
