Concept:Count squares of every possible size in the given figure.Explanation:Start with the smallest squares and move to larger ones.Count all squares of size $1 \times 1$, then $2 \times 2$, then $3 \times 3$, and so on.Also include any tilted squares formed by diagonals.After counting all types, the sum gives the total number of squares.For this figure, the systematic count yields $17$ squares.Answer:The given figure contains $17$ squares.Hence, the correct option is B.
