To find the 14th term in the sequence, we can observe that each term is decreasing by 7. So, we subtract 7 from each term to get the next term.

Let's apply this pattern to find the 14th term:

90 - 7 = 83

83 - 7 = 76

76 - 7 = 69

We continue this pattern to find the 14th term:

69 - 7 = 62

62 - 7 = 55

55 - 7 = 48

48 - 7 = 41

41 - 7 = 34

34 - 7 = 27

27 - 7 = 20

20 - 7 = 13

13 - 7 = 6

6 - 7 = -1

Therefore, the 14th term in the sequence is -1.

So, the correct answer is A.-1
