The Triangle inequality theorem of a triangle says that the sum of any of the two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side. The correct option is C.

<h3>What is the triangle inequality theorem?</h3>

The Triangle inequality theorem of a triangle says that the sum of any of the two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.

Suppose a, b and c are the three sides of a triangle. Thus according to this theorem,

 (a+b) > c\\(b+c) > a\\(c+a) > b

Given the length of the two sides of the triangle, therefore, we can write the inequalities,

8 + 5 > x  ⇒   13 > x

8 + x > 5  ⇒  x > - 3

5 + x > 8  ⇒  x > 3

Now, as per the inequality the value of x can lie between 3 to 13, but as the side needs to be greatest, therefore, the value of x will be 12.

Hence, the correct option is C.
