Solution 1

Let O be circumcenter of the equilateral triangle

Easily get $OF = \frac{14\sqrt{3}}{3}$

$2 \cdot \triangle(OFC) + \triangle(OCE) = OF^2 \cdot \sin(\theta) + OF^2 \cdot \sin(120 - \theta)$ $= \frac{14^2 \cdot 3}{9} ( \sin(\theta) + \sin(120 - \theta) )$ $= \frac{196}{3} ( \sin(\theta) + \sin(120 - \theta) )$ $= 2 \cdot {\frac{1}{3} } \cdot(ABCDEF) = 2\cdot \frac{91\sqrt{3}}{3}$

$\sin(\theta) + \sin(120 - \theta) = \frac{13\sqrt{3}}{14}$ $\sin(\theta) + \frac{ \sqrt{3}}{2}\cos( \theta) +\frac{ \sqrt{1}}{2}\sin( \theta) = \frac{13\sqrt{3}}{14}$ $\sqrt{3} \sin( \theta) + \cos( \theta) = \frac{13 }{7}$ $\cos( \theta) = \frac{13 }{7} - \sqrt{3} \sin( \theta)$ $\frac{169 }{49} - \frac{26\sqrt{3} }{7} \sin( \theta) + 4 \sin( \theta)^2 = 1$ $\sin( \theta) = \frac{5\sqrt{3} }{14} or \frac{4\sqrt{3} }{7}$ $\frac{4\sqrt{3} }{7}$ is invalid given $\theta \leq 60^\circ$ , $\sin(\theta ) < \sin( 60^\circ ) = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} \cdot 3.5}{7}$ $\cos( \theta) = \frac{11 }{14}$ $\tan( \theta) = \frac{5\sqrt{3} }{11} \boxed{B }$

Solution #2

From $\triangle ABC$ 's side lengths of 14, we get $OF = OC = OE = \frac{14\sqrt{3}}{3}.$ We let $\angle FOC = \theta$ And $\angle EOC = 120 - \theta$

The answer would be $3([\triangle FOC] + [\triangle COE])$

Which area $\triangle FOC$ = $\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{14\sqrt{3}}{3}\right)^2 \sin(\theta)$

And area $\triangle COE$ = $\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{14\sqrt{3}}{3}\right)^2 \sin(120 - \theta)$

So we have that $3\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{14\sqrt{3}}{3}\right)^2 (\sin(\theta)+\sin(120 - \theta)) = 91\sqrt{3}$

Which means $\sin(\theta)+\sin(120 - \theta) = \frac{91\sqrt{3}}{98}$ $\frac{1}{2}\cos(\theta)+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\sin(\theta) = \frac{91}{98}$ $\sin(\theta + 30) = \frac{91}{98}$ $\cos (\theta + 30) = \frac{21\sqrt{3}}{98}$ $\tan(\theta + 30) = \frac{91}{21\sqrt{3}} = \frac{91\sqrt{3}}{63}$

Now, $\tan(\theta)$ can be calculated using the addition identity, which gives the answer of

$\boxed{\text{(B) }\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{11}}.$
