    Step 1

    For triangle I, it has three sides of unequal lengths. Hence, it is a scalene triangle.

    Triangle I is a scalene triangle

    Step 2

    As for triangle II, it is not a scalene triangle. This is because two of its sides have the same length (9.3cm).

    Triangle II is not a scalene triangle

    Step 3

    As for triangle III, all of its internal angles are different. Therefore, it is a scalene triangle.

    Triangle III is a scalene triangle

    Step 4

    For triangle IV, its internal angles are 60° each. This means that all the sides of the triangle have the same length. Hence, this is not a scalene triangle.

    Triangle IV is not a scalene triangle

    Step 5

    Clearly, only triangle I and III are scalene triangles. Therefore, the answer is A.
