==Solution 1==
Let our subset be <imath>\{11,12,13,...,20\}.</imath> If we add any one element from the set <imath>\{1,2,3,...,10\},</imath> we will have to remove at least one element from our current subset. Hence, the size of our set cannot exceed <imath>\boxed{\text{(C) }10}.</imath>

==Solution 2==
Let our subset be <imath>\{1,3,5,...,19\}.</imath> Since odd numbers + odd numbers will always sum to an even number, this subset holds true. Leo, the addition of any even number will result in a violation of the rule, so the maximum number of elements is <imath>\boxed{\text{(C) }10}.</imath>
