Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

to build a triangle the sum of lengths of any and every pair of lines must be longer than the third line.

like in A we have

6+18>23 true

6+23>18 true

18+23>6 true

so, it is a triangle.

but in B we have

8+10<20

and therefore it cannot be a triangle (the endpoints cannot connect).
