    {2, 3, √13}

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides equals the square of the third side (Pythagoras).

    Let's check each set of sides in turn.

    A. {2, 3, √13}

    2² + 3² = 4 + 9 = 13

    (√13) ² = 13

    This is a right triangle.

    B. {5, 5, 2, √10}

    This is a quadrilateral (four sides).

    C. {5, 12, 15}

    5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169

    15² = 225

    This is not a right triangle.
