The area of the polygon can be calculated by finding the areas of each of the four rectangles that make up the letter X, and then adding them together.

Each rectangle has a length of 7 and a width of 5, so the area of each rectangle is 7*5 = 35 square units.

Since there are four rectangles, the total area of the polygon is 35*4 = 140 square units.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
140 square units
