From which set of dimensions could a triangle be constructed?

A triangle can be formed only when the sum of the two shorter sides is greater than the longest side. For choice D, 2 + 6 = 8, which is greater than 7; the other two side-sums are also greater than the remaining side. So the sides 2, 6, and 7 can form a triangle.
