Answer:

C) 84

Explanation:

Use the Fundamental Counting Principle, which states that if there are p ways to do one thing, and q ways to do another thing, then there are p×q ways to do both things. In this case, we have 2 ways to select one object from the first set, 3 ways to select one object from the second set, and 14 ways to select one object from the third set. So, we multiply and do 2*3*14=84

Therefore, there are 84 unique combinations
