    D) 5 cm, 12 cm, 13 cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use Pythagoras' Theorem for each option.

    a^2 + b^2 = c^2

    Option A:

    4 + 25 ≠ 49

    Option B:

    81 + 196 ≠ 289

    Option C:

    49 + 289 ≠ 576

    Option D:

    25 + 144 = 169

    Therefore Option D is the only feasible set of measurements for a right angle triangle
