The correct answer is D. 46

The function is defined as \(f(x - 2) = 4x^2 + x + 7\). 

To find \(f(1)\), we substitute \(x - 2 = 1\) into the function, which gives us \(x = 3\).

Substituting \(x = 3\) into the function, we get:

\(f(1) = 4(3)^2 + 3 + 7 = 4 \cdot 9 + 3 + 7 = 36 + 3 + 7 = 46\)

Therefore, the correct answer is 46
