IMPORTANT RULE: If two sides of a triangle have lengths A and B, then . . .
DIFFERENCE between A and B < length of third side < SUM of A and B

Applying the above rule, we get: 4 - 3 < x < 4 + 3
Simplify: 1 < x < 7

Answer: B

In any triangle, the length of the third side must be more than the difference of the other sides and less than the sum of those two sides. Therefore, we have:

4 - 3 < x < 4 + 3

1 < x < 7

Answer: B
