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.

Best way is to draw the figure then itself, it will be easy to find rather than numbering.

Why are counting slanting lines? They are not straight lines.
