To express the ratio of 14 programming errors for every 56 programmers as a rational number, you can write it as a fraction:

\[ \frac{14}{56} \]

This fraction can be simplified. By dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 14, we get:

\[ \frac{14 \div 14}{56 \div 14} = \frac{1}{4} \]

However, if the question specifically asks for the representation without simplification, you would choose:

A. 14 over 56

as the rational number that represents this scenario.
