Answer: (C)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Determine the caloric value of alcohol. Alcohol provides 7 Calories per gram. Multiply the grams of alcohol (14 g) by 7 to calculate the Calories from alcohol. Use the formula: $\mathrm{Calories}=14\times 7$.
2. Determine the caloric value of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates provide 4 Calories per gram. Multiply the grams of carbohydrates (13 g) by 4 to calculate the Calories from carbohydrates. Use the formula: $\mathrm{Calories}=13\times 4$.
3. Add the Calories from alcohol and the Calories from carbohydrates to find the total caloric content of the beer. Use the formula: $\mathrm{Total} \mathrm{Calories}=\mathrm{Calories} \mathrm{from} \mathrm{alcohol}+\mathrm{Calories} \mathrm{from} \mathrm{carbohydrates}$.
4. Compare the calculated total Calories to the provided answer choices (98, 52, 150, 147) to identify the correct answer.
5. Verify the calculation and ensure that the total Calories match the correct answer choice, which is 150 Calories in this case.
