This is a permutation problem with 14 elements that can only be taken 6 at a time. In permutation notation,
14P6
which in factorial form is
14! / (14 - 6)!
which is equal to
= 2162160

The answer is
2,162,160 different ways

Since the problem is concerned of the arrangement in the first row, this can be solved through permutation. Above is a permutation of 14 taken 6 which can be easily solved through the calculator or through the equation,
                          14P6 = (14!)/(14-6)!
                                   = 2162160
Thus, the answer is letter A.
