Solution
✅ Correct Option: 4
By the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be strictly greater than the third side.
The three sides are , , and .
This gives us three conditions:
(always true since is positive)
Combining the useful conditions:
Since is a positive integer, can take values from to .
