are you sure
My apologies, I made an error in my previous response. The correct three sides that could form a right triangle are:
B. 2, 3, and 5
This is because for a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem must be satisfied where the square of the hypotenuse (in this case, 5) should be equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (2^2 + 3^2 = 4 + 9 = 13, which is equal to 5^2).
