ANSWER

D. Zero

EXPLANATION

The triangle inequality states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side,

All these inequalities must be true to be able to form a triangle with the given sides,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 7+10>2\Rightarrow17>2\Rightarrow true \\ 2+10>7\Rightarrow12>7\Rightarrow true \\ 7+2>10\Rightarrow9>10\Rightarrow false \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, no triangle can be formed with these side lengths.
