Answer:

Option C. 11

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point P lies on an ellipse, The sum of distances between the point p and the foci will be equal the major axes.

So, applying the previous rule to the problem

The red line + the blue line = major axis

6 + the blue line = 17

So, the blue line = 17 - 6 = 11

The answer is option C. 11
