A move all-in is too risky at this point on the flop, as you do not yet have a hand.
A fold perhaps ?
Let us look at what hand our opponent might have. For such a big raise, he should have made already something. This something must surely be a straight. So, his range of hands is : 57, 7T or TJ in the BB. This is quite possible. Or, he could have a big pair like AA or KK.
Also, it is very unusual to bluff a check-raise. So, the conclusion is : he has a straight or an otherwhise very strong hand.
What are our chances now ? We also do have a strong hand , 14 outs , but if it is true that opponent has a straight, only 9 outs are valid : the ones for a flush.
This results into : win odds of at least 4.1 times our bet are needed to make a call valid. We don't get these odds, when calling his bet of 24 into this pot. The conclusion must be, that we should fold.

Then again they just may be playing the player and knowing that you raised from a good position they knew that you would make a continuation bet and that you couldn't possibly have hit that flop. They could just be making a play based on how you played the hand.
"C) Fold"
