First, let's find the area of one of the rectangles that make up the letter X. The area of a rectangle is length x width, so for each rectangle it would be 7 x 5 = 35 square units.
Since there are 4 rectangles making up the X shape, the total area would be 35 x 4 = 140 square units.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
140 square units
