=>

For example, if A = {0,5} and B = { 0, 11 }, then the set A is included in the set B and the smallest possible range of the sets A and B combined is 11, which is the range of the set B.
Thus, any number less than 11 cannot be the range of sets A and B, combined.

Therefore, A is the answer.
Answer: A

Range of Set A = 5
Range of Set B = 11
Rang of Set A and B combined = the union of A and B = A U B,
Bearing in mind that Range is the difference between the highest and the least element.
The range of A U B is always greater than or equal to the Range of set with the greater range ( which is set B.)

Therefore, Range of Set A U B >/= Range of Set B.
Range of Set A U B >/= 11

Finally, Option A is the final answer because 10 is less than 11.
