To find the select time for work element 3, we need to look at the times recorded for that element in each cycle. 
Cycle 1: 14 seconds
Cycle 2: 13 seconds
Cycle 3: 14 seconds
Cycle 4: 13 seconds

The select time is the longest time recorded for that element in any of the cycles. In this case, the longest time is 14 seconds, which falls between the range of "greater than or equal to 13 seconds but fewer than or equal to 14 seconds." Therefore, the best choice is C.
