Check the picture below.
notice the sides, now, on the second triangle, side 6 slants a bit more to fit in 13, on the third triangle, side 6 slants even further to fit 13 in, now, if 6 were to slant completely, it'll make a flat-line with side 5, and there will be a triangle no more.
but even if side 6 would stretch to a flat-line, 5+6 is just 11, whilst side 13 is longer than that, so no dice.

<h3>Answer: n = -11</h3>
The other choices are false, so choice C is the only solution here.
==================================================
Explanation:
Draw a number line. You'll have 0 in the center, with positive values on the right. The positive values increase 1,2,3,4,... as you move from left to right.
The negative values will go in the opposite direction. When going from right to left, we have -1, -2, -3, -4, ...
See the diagram below.
Now plot an open hole at -7 on the number line. The open hole says that we exclude this value from the solution set. Then we shade everything to the left of the open circle. This visually describes all values smaller than -7. Something like -2 is not to the left of -7, meaning -2 < -7 is false. But a value like -10 is to the left of -7, making -10 < -7 true.
With that in mind, the answer is n = -11 since -11 is to the left of -7. Of the values in the answer choices, it's the only thing to the left of -7.
The value n = -7 cannot be the solution because n < -7 would become -7 < -7 which is false.
