CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. 1×11 \times 1 squares: 3×3=93 \times 3 = 9.

  2. 2×22 \times 2 squares: 2×2=42 \times 2 = 4.

  3. 3×33 \times 3 squares: 1×1=11 \times 1 = 1.

  4. Total =9+4+1=14= 9 + 4 + 1 = 14.

Worth noting

9 counts only the smallest squares. Count every size: a 3×33 \times 3 grid holds squares from 1×11 \times 1 up to 3×33 \times 3.
