The correct option is C

3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm


For a geometrical figure to be a triangle, the sum of lengths of any two of its sides must be greater than that of the third side.

Otherwise, a triangle formation is not possible.
The only option among the given options which satisfies the above condition is '3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm'.
[3 cm + 4 cm > 5 cm
4 cm + 5 cm > 3 cm
