The answer is B.
∴Explanation
3 bags of apples and 2 pounds of grapes,
1 bag of apple equals with 4 pounds of grapes 

1) We first multiply the 3 bags of apples with the 4 pounds that one bag equals with.
2) Then we add to the product in order to find the total pounds.

1] 3 x 4 = 12
2] 12 + 2 =14

Therefore the answer is B.
