C Correct answer
Explanation

For 14x²+25x+9=0: factors are (2x+1)(7x+9), giving x = -1/2 or x = -9/7. For 2y²-y-1=0: factors are (2y+1)(y-1), giving y = -1/2 or y = 1. Comparing values: x = -9/7 ≈ -1.29, x = -0.5; y = -0.5, y = 1. All x values are less than or equal to all y values, so x ≤ y is true (x equals y when both are -0.5, and x is less than y in other cases).
