To round to the nearest tenth, we must round it to the nearest hundredth first, we have

See that we have 1 at the last decimal, then we will keep the hundredth value, it means that we will round to

$14.481\rightarrow14.48$

Now the last decimal is 8, it's above 5, then we must add one at the tenth and remove the hundredth

$14.48\rightarrow14.5$

Therefore the nearest tenth is the letter C, 14.5
