Problem

A segment of length $1$ is divided into four segments. Then there exists a quadrilateral with the four segments as sides if and only if each segment is:

$\text{(A) equal to } \frac{1}{4}\quad\\ \text{(B) equal to or greater than } \frac{1}{8} \text{ and less than }\frac{1}{2}\quad\\ \text{(C) greater than } \frac{1}{8} \text{ and less than }\frac{1}{2}\quad\\ \text{(D) equal to or greater than } \frac{1}{8} \text{ and less than }\frac{1}{4}\quad\\ \text{(E) less than }\frac{1}{2}$
