Find the minimum number of straight lines required to make the given figure.

Answer: Option
Explanation:
The figure may be labelled as shown.

The horizontal lines are IK, AB, HG and DC i.e. 4 in number.
The vertical lines are AD, EH, JM, FG and BC i.e. 5 in number.
The slanting lines are IE, JE, JF, KF, DE, DH, FC and GC i.e. 8 is number.
Thus, there are 4 + 5 + 8 = 17 straight lines in the figure.

EF is a horizontal line so why it does not count? If it includes the answer is 5+5+8=18.

@Shreya.
First find out simple horizontal lines which can be IK, HG, AB & DC.
Now cross those out if your doing this on a paper.
Now keep finding vertical and slanting.
Then simply add all the lines you got together.
