Correct Answer :

Option A

13

Solution :

The correct answer is 13.


To find the total number of triangles in the given figure, we can systematically count them region by region:


1. Small top-left overlapping square structure:

- Looking at the top-left square that has an inscribed diamond/rotated square, the corners form 4 small triangles.
- The square inside that overlaps with the main grid corner also has diagonal lines forming triangles.
- Counting the distinct individual small triangular regions in this top-left region yields 6 triangles.


2. Upper-middle section:

- There is a V-shaped branch/slanting lines near the top border attached to a vertical line, forming 2 triangles.


3. Right side section:

- On the upper-right area within the outer square, diagonal lines cut across forming 2 triangles.


4. Bottom-left corner section:

- At the very bottom-left corner of the main square, a single slanting line cuts the corner to form 1 triangle.


5. Center-bottom section:

- In the lower central grid area, a diagonal line divides a small square section, contributing 2 triangles.


Total Count:

Adding all the individual triangular regions together:

6+2+2+1+2=13


Thus, there are a total of 13 triangles in the given figure.
