The correct answer is C , D and E.

We can find the maximum area of the triangle only when the given sides are placed at right angles. Why?
Let’s put 10 as the base and 5 as the height. Then, the area of the triangle is: $$\frac{10×5}{2}= 25$$
The angle less or more than 90 degrees between the sides reduce the area. (Draw it out for yourself). Hence, the area can be anything between 0 and 25.
