The correct answer is
14

Solving for the Three-Digit Number's Digit Sum

Finding the Digits

We are given that the product of the three digits of a number is 70. Let the digits be $a$, $b$, and $c$. We need to find three single digits (from 1 to 9, as a zero digit would make the product zero) such that $a \times b \times c = 70$.

First, find the prime factorization of 70:

$70 = 2 \times 5 \times 7$

Since 2, 5, and 7 are all single digits, these are the digits of the three-digit number. The order doesn't matter for finding the sum.

Calculating the Sum

The question asks for the sum of these digits. Calculate the sum:

Sum = $2 + 5 + 7$

Sum = $14$

The sum of the digits is 14. This matches Option B.
