pythegorean theorem:  c^2 = a^2 + b^2
you can test this for all the options
does (2)^2 + (4)^2   = (5^2)?
           4 + 16
                20       =   25
20 does not equal 25
therefore option A is false

b is false

ummm...
3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2
  9  +  16   =  25
        25   =    25
so true
