A
16
💡 Explanation:
Let the three consecutive integers be x, x+1, and x+2. According to the given information, x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 39. Simplifying this equation, we get 3x + 3 = 39. Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get 3x = 36. Dividing both sides by 3, we get x = 12. Therefore, the largest integer among them is x+2 = 12+2 = 14.
