Explanation:

Step1: Analyze coffee mug weights

1 pound = 16 ounces. 0.4 pound = $0.4\times16=6.4$ ounces, too light for a full mug. 4 pounds = $4\times16=64$ ounces, far too heavy. 1.4 ounces is extremely light (only a small amount of liquid). A typical full coffee mug is ~12-16 ounces, so 14 ounces is reasonable.

Step2: Analyze 5-gram object

Answer:

1. D. 14 ounces
