Answer: option D
Property: Sum of any two sides must be greater than third side for a Triangle to Exist

Question : Is x < 3??

Statement 1: z = y + 3
for triangle to exist x+y>z
i.e. x+y>y+3
i.e. x>3
then x must be greater than 3
SUFFICIENT

Statement 2:y = 3 and z = 6
if y=3 and z=6
for triangle to exist x+y>z
i.e. x+3>6
then x must be greater than 3
SUFFICIENT
