It is given that the sum of two odd prime numbers is 18.
We know that if a number is not divisible by 2 then that number is an odd number and the number that is divisible by itself and 1 is called a prime number. 
1. 10, 8 (Both are not odd prime numbers.) 

2. 13, 6 (13 is an odd prime number, but 6 is not a prime number.) 

3. 11, 7 (Both are odd prime numbers. Let's check if they add up to 18.) 

11+7=18 - This is correct.

4. 14, 4 (14 is not an odd number, and 4 is not a prime number.)

Therefore, the correct answer is 11 and 7, as they are both odd prime numbers and their sum is 18.
