Given:

Speed of man = 14 km/h

Total distance to cover = 7 km

Formula used:

Time = distance/speed

Calculation:

If the man doesn't stop to rest, then

Time taken to complete the distance of 7 km = 7/14 = 1/2 h = 30 min

Total rest time = 7 × 6 = 42 min

Total time to cover the distance = 30 + 42 = 72 min = 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) hours

∴ The correct answer is 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) h.
