18
Sum of any two side of a triangle should be more than the third side.
as X>17, only 18 satisfies this condition.

Answer is 18(option 1)
Summation of any two side of a triangle cannot be more than the third side
Given the condition, the third side is more than 17
Thus, we have no option except 18
