    The answer is C.

    ∴Explanation

    4 sports stamps & 2 holiday stamps

    president stamps = 4 x holiday stamps

    1) So we first find the president stamps

    president stamps = 4 x 2 = 8

    2) Then we add all the stamps together

    sports stamps + holiday stamps + president stamps = 4 + 2 + 8 = 14

    Done!

    So it's C
