Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is 44.
Brief Counting Approach
The figure is a 2 × 2 square grid, and each smaller square contains both diagonals (an “X”).
Count triangles systematically:
Smallest triangles = 16
Triangles formed by combining two smallest triangles = 16
Larger composite triangles within the grid = 8
Largest triangles spanning multiple sections = 4
Total: 16 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 44
Correct Option: D. 44 ✅
