    One.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The reason why is because 12-5 = 7, meaning that your lowest length has to be 7. meaning, that you can only do one triangle.

    D. None.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The Triangle Inequality Theorem states the longest side must be shorter than the sum of the other 2 sides. The longest side (12) > = (7 plus 5) = 12 is too large.
