The possible rational roots are


=\frac{\text{factors of the constant}}{\text{factors of the lead coefficient}}

The constant is 14, and its factors are:


\pm1,\pm2,\pm7,\pm14

The lead coefficient is 1, and its factors are:


\pm1

Then, the possible rational roots for this equation are


(\pm1,\pm2,\pm7,\pm14)/(\pm1)=\pm1,\pm2,\pm7,\pm14

Since, 7 is a possible rational root, the answer is option C
