Answer:

D. 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Midsegment theorem:

The length of the midsegment of a triangle is half the length of it's third side.

In this question:

Third side: 3x - 5

Midsegment: 14m

So

[tex]\frac{3x - 5}{2} = 14[/tex]

[tex]3x - 5 = 28[/tex]

[tex]3x = 33[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{33}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 11[/tex]

The correct answer is given by option D.
