Answer:

A: 8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

Since if we add the side of 4 and 8 it equals to 12, which is not greater than 12, meaning this would be a line if you tried to draw it, leading to the conclusion that A is not possible
