The third side must be greater than the difference of the other two sides but less than the sum of the other two sides in order for it to form a triangle.
So, the third side must be greater than \( 14 - 4 = 10 \) inches and less than \( 14 + 4 = 18 \) inches.
Therefore, the only option that falls within this range is 11 inches.
So, the third side of the triangle is 11 inches.
