Hi Friend

 

You should make use of the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that

the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle must always be greater than the length of the third side

 

As you test the answers, you will notice that in C 7+11=18, which is also equal to the length of the other side. This is impossible so the answer is C.
