Option B: A triangle with side lengths 4 cm, 5 cm, and 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are dealing here majorly with sides, one condition is that each side has to be shorter than the sum of the other two sides and longer than their difference meaning that if we have a, b and c

The a value has to be shorter than the sum of b and c - a b-c

In this example, we have side lengths 4 cm, 5 cm, and 15 cm. Taking a, b and c as 4 cm, 5 cm, and 15 cm respectively.

The sum of 5 and 4 is 9 and the third side 15 is greater than 9 when it is supposed to be less to construct a triangle.
