The correct answer is
14

To determine the total number of squares in the given figure, we will examine and count the squares of different sizes within the grid.

Step-by-Step Count:

  1. 1x1 Squares: There are 9 small squares of size 1x1. These are the basic individual squares in the grid.
  2. 2x2 Squares: By combining four 1x1 squares, we form a 2x2 square. There are two rows and two columns for 2x2 squares in the figure, resulting in 4 such squares.
  3. 3x3 Squares: The entire grid itself forms a 3x3 square. So, there is 1 such square.

Total Calculation:

Total number of squares = Number of 1x1 squares + Number of 2x2 squares + Number of 3x3 squares

= 9 + 4 + 1 = 14

Therefore, the total number of squares in the figure is 14. The correct answer is 14.
