    According to triangle inequality theorem, "The sum of the length of two sides of a triangle should be greater than the third side". In order to verify the mentioned theorem, some calculations are performed below.

    12 + 15 > 18

    15 + 18 > 12

    12 + 18 > 15

    As the triangle inequality theorem satisfied, so there is only one triangle possible with the given sides length. No more than one triangle is possible, because the angles are not given, and the sides length are fixed.

    So option "B" is correct.
