Factorise and compare
14 = 2 x 7
22 = 2 x 11
308 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 11
And you will see that
Lowest Common Multiple is 308
Highest Common Factor is 2

The Least Common Multiple is 308.
It must be a MULTIPLE of ALL the numbers.
The LCM can never be LOWER than the highest number in the list (ex. 1 X 308 = 308 - it's the FIRST possible answer, in this case it works since 308 is a multiple of 14 & 22)

14=2*7
22=2*11
154=2*7*11
308=2^ 2*7*11
LCM=2^2*7*11=308

You obviously do not understand how lowest common denominator works, or you would know how to easily solve this given the given choices.
