To find the area of the composite figure, we need to add up the areas of each individual shape.
Area of rectangle = length x width
Area of first rectangle = 1 mile x 3 miles = 3 square miles
Area of second rectangle = 1 mile x 1 mile = 1 square mile
Area of third rectangle = 1 mile x 6 miles = 6 square miles
Area of fourth rectangle = 1 mile x 7 miles = 7 square miles
Total area = 3 + 1 + 6 + 7 = 17 square miles
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed, but it is 17 square miles.
