Given:

There are 7 dozen candles kept in a box.

There are 14 such boxes.

Formula used:

Total number of candles = Number of candles in one box × Number of boxes

Calculation:

1 dozen = 12 candles

⇒ Number of candles in one box = 7 × 12

⇒ Number of candles in one box = 84

⇒ Total number of candles = 84 × 14

⇒ Total number of candles = 1176

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
