To solve this problem:

We are told that **1 ounce of yogurt contains 1.2 grams of sugar**. We need to find out how many grams of sugar are in **14.25 ounces** of yogurt.

To solve this, we set up a proportion:
\[
\text{{Sugar in grams}} = (\text{{ounces of yogurt}}) \times (\text{{grams of sugar per ounce}})
\]
In this case:
\[
\text{{Sugar in grams}} = 14.25 \, \text{ounces} \times 1.2 \, \text{grams per ounce}
\]

Now, performing the multiplication:
\[
14.25 \times 1.2 = 17.1 \, \text{grams}
\]

Thus, the correct answer is **17.1 grams**.
