To simplify the expression \(-2i(3i + 4i)\), we first combine the terms inside the parentheses:
\[
3i + 4i = 7i
\]
Now, we can rewrite the expression as:
\[
-2i(7i)
\]
Next, we multiply:
\[
-2i \cdot 7i = -14i^2
\]
Since \(i^2 = -1\), we can substitute:
\[
-14i^2 = -14(-1) = 14
\]
So, the expression simplifies to:
\[
14
\]
The correct answer is \(14\).
