Solution

The correct option is B $42 u n i t^{2}$
Given the base $= 14 u n i t s$ and its height $= 6 u n i t s$ .
Area of any triangle given its base and perpendicular height is
given by:
$\Rightarrow a r e a = \frac{1}{2} b a s e * h e i g h t \Rightarrow a r e a = \frac{1}{2} * 14 * 6 \Rightarrow a r e a = 42 u n i t^{2}$
