To solve this problem, we can use a proportion:

2.16 geb/1.02 red = x geb/7.4 red

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2.16 geb * 7.4 red = 1.02 red * x geb

Simplifying, we get:

15.984 geb = 1.02 red * x geb

Dividing both sides by 1.02 red, we get:

x geb = 15.7 geb (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Therefore, the answer is D) 16 geb.
