In which type of wiring is 14 awg the smallest permitted?

Several answers are possible here (this sounds like a test question, by the way). NEC 210.19(A)(4) says that branch circuits that are not for cooking appliances specified in 210.19, or specific-purpose loads specified in 210.2 shall not be smaller than #14 copper (#12 aluminum). 310.5 says that all wiring 0-2000 volts shall be minimum #14 unless otherwise permitted elsewhere in the code. There are perhaps other references too, these are two that come to mind.


Can you put a bathroom in a room that has the electrical panel in it?

absolutely not... Besides the fact that "absolutely not" is the common sense answer, the NEC strictly forbids electrical panels from being in bathrooms. There are very few other restrictions, including the fact that there is no restriction on how close to water a panel can be. But the restriction on panels in bathrooms stands tall.

The total load 75 amps is continuous what size breaker is required?

This depends on your local electrical code, however the National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code both state that you must derate circuits to 80% of their maximum electrical capacity, so for a load of 75 amps you must use overcurrent protection and wire rated for 93.5 amps, and since that doesn't exist you must upsize to 100 amps.
