First thing to do is to calculate the amount in moles CO used for the combustion process. Then, we use the data from the reaction to determine the amount of heat released by that amount. We calculate as follows:

14 g ( 1 mol / 28.01 g ) = 0.50 mol CO

0.50 mol CO ( 67.6 kcal / 1 mol CO ) = 33.79 kcal 

Therefore, the closest from the choices listed is the third option.
