Answer:

A. 7

Explanation:

The problem is poorly specified, so technically cannot be answered with a specific number.

If we assume the "horizontal" lines are all parallel, then the one marked 21-x has a length that is the average of the other two:

(17 +11)/2 = 21 -x

14 = 21 -x

x = 21 -14 = 7

The value of x is 7.

_____

The attachment shows what happens when the lines are not parallel. The range of the midline lengths is from 3 to 14 for the segment lengths shown.
