Explanation:

Step1: Identify the initial time and the time reduction

The initial time in the qualifying heat is 14.06 seconds, and the time reduction (faster) in the finals is 0.58 seconds.

Step2: Subtract the time reduction from the initial time

To find the time in the finals, we subtract the reduction from the initial time: $14.06 - 0.58$.
Calculating this: $14.06 - 0.58 = 13.48$ seconds.

Answer:

13.48 seconds (corresponding to the option "13.48 seconds")
