From the diagram, we can see that Paul produces 3 bushels of wheat and 4 bushels of corn while Cliff produces 4 bushels of wheat and 3 bushels of corn. Therefore, the total production of wheat is 7 bushels (3+4) and the total production of corn is 7 bushels (4+3). So, the correct answer is D: 7 bushels of wheat and 7 bushels of corn.
