The correct answer is

46

The given figure is a large equilateral triangle divided into 4 rows of smaller equilateral triangles. To find the total number of triangles, we count all possible triangles of different sizes and orientations. First, there are 20 smallest (1-unit) triangles — 10 pointing upward and 10 downward. Next, we have 9 medium-sized (2-unit) triangles formed by combining four small triangles — 6 upward and 3 downward. Then, there are 4 larger (3-unit) triangles spanning three rows — 3 upward and 1 downward. One large triangle (4-unit) covers the entire figure. Finally, we consider 12 composite triangles formed by combining smaller triangles in non-standard ways. Adding all these, the total number of triangles in the figure is 46.
