The characteristic equation for the given differential equation is:

r^2 + 9r + 14 = 0

Factoring the equation, we get:

(r + 7)(r + 2) = 0

Therefore, the roots of the characteristic equation are -7 and -2.

The general solution to the differential equation is then:

v(t) = C1e^(-7t) + C2e^(-2t)

Therefore, options A, B, D, F, G, H, and J are not solutions to the differential equation.

Option C can be simplified as:

v(t) = C1e^(-7t) + C2e^(-2t)

Therefore, option C is a solution to the differential equation.

Option E can be simplified as:

v(t) = (C1 + C2t)e^(-2t)

Therefore, option E is not a solution to the differential equation.

Option I can be simplified as:

v(t) = C1cos(2t) + C2sin(2t)

Therefore, option I is not a solution to the differential equation.

Therefore, the correct answer is K. None of the above.
