Answer: Option
Explanation:

The figure may be labelled as shown.

The simplest triangles are ABG, BIG, BIC, CIH, GIH, CDH, HED, GHJ, HJE, FEJ, GFJ and AGF i.e. 12 in number.

The triangles composed of two components each are ABF, CDE, GBC, BCH, GHG, BHG, GHF, GHE, HEF and GEF i.e. 10 in number.

The triangles composed of three components each are ABH, AFH, CDG and GDE i.e. 4 in number.

The triangles composed of four components each are BHF and CGE i.e. 2 in number.

Total number of triangles in the figure = 12 + 10 + 4 + 2 = 28.

Hi, there are 32 triangles in the problem check it correctly for example take the square BCGHI it has 8 triangles BIC, CIH, HIG, GIB, BCH, BCG, GHB and GHC similar way the problem has four squares.

If you add the remaining squares triangles it is 8+8+8+8=32 please check it once again.
