Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
To find the prime factorization of 154, we can start by dividing by 2, which gives us 77. 77 is not divisible by 2, but it is divisible by 7, so we can divide by 7 to get 11. 11 is a prime number, so we stop here.

Therefore, 154 can be written as a product of prime factors as 2 x 7 x 11, which is choice C.
