    For three numbers to represent lengths of the sides of a triangle, the sum of each pair must be greater than the remaining side.

    A)

    3 + 4 = 7

    3 + 5 = 8

    5 + 4 = 9

    B)

    2 + 5 = 7

    2 + 8 = 10

    5 + 8 = 13

    C)

    2 + 12 = 14

    2 + 15 = 17

    15 + 12 = 27

    D)

    3 + 3 = 6

    3 + 7 = 10

    3 + 7 = 10

    In all these, only A have the sum of the numbers greater than the numbers itself. So the answer is A.
