6 0

I’m guessing B because the pieces of string are all different lengths, therefore creating only one type of triangle (scalene triangle)

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be easily understood using the triangle inequality theorem:

"In a triangle, the combined lengths of any two sides must always be greater than the length of the third side."

Since all of them doesn't hold true, we cannot make any triangle. The answer is A, 0.
