How many squares are there in the given figure?

Systematic Counting: To count the squares, break the figure into regions:

Small (1x1) squares: Identify all the smallest unit squares visible in the grid.

Medium/Large squares: Look for squares formed by combining 2x2 or larger unit blocks.

Tilted squares: Identify any squares rotated at 45 degrees.

Total Count: By tracing each region, we find:

Region 1 (Top Left): 3 squares

Region 2 (Bottom Left): 3 squares

Region 3 (Middle): 4 squares

Region 4 (Right): 4 squares

Total sum: 14 squares.

Final Answer: Option A
