This is a problem related to an arithmetic sequence.

### Given:
- \( U_5 = 4 \) 
- \( U_{25} = 14 \)

We need to find \( U_{21} \).

### The formula for the \(n\)-th term of an arithmetic sequence is:
\[
U_n = a + (n - 1) d
\]
where:
- \(a\) is the first term of the sequence,
- \(d\) is the common difference between consecutive terms.

From the information given, we can set up the following two equations:
1. \( U_5 = a + (5 - 1) d = a + 4d = 4 \)
2. \( U_{25} = a + (25 - 1) d = a + 24d = 14 \)

Now, solve these equations step by step.

### Step 1: Subtract the first equation from the second:
\[
(a + 24d) - (a + 4d) = 14 - 4
\]
\[
20d = 10
\]
\[
d = \frac{10}{20} = 0.5
\]

### Step 2: Substitute \(d = 0.5\) back into the first equation to find \(a\):
\[
a + 4(0.5) = 4
\]
\[
a + 2 = 4
\]
\[
a = 2
\]

### Step 3: Use the values of \(a = 2\) and \(d = 0.5\) to find \(U_{21}\):
\[
U_{21} = a + (21 - 1) d = 2 + 20(0.5) = 2 + 10 = 12
\]

So, the value of \( U_{21} \) is **12** (Answer: A).
