If the unknown side is a leg, the hypotenuse must be 26 (the longest of the other two sides). Then the Pythagorean theorem tells you

... 26² = 24² + y²

... y = √(26² -24²) = √100 = 10

The appropriate choice is

... 10

_____

You may recognize that this triangle is double the often-used Pythagorean triple (5, 12, 13).
