To interpret the inequality 14 > −6 as a statement about the relative position of 14 and −6 on a number line, we need to determine their positions and the direction they are from each other.

14 is a positive number, which means it is to the right of 0 on the number line. In contrast, −6 is a negative number and is to the left of 0 on the number line.

Since 14 is to the right of −6, we can conclude that 14 and −6 are on opposite sides of 0 on the number line.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. 14 and −6 are on opposite sides of 0 on the number line.
