	A. 10 B. 9 C. 8 D. 7

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The figure may be labelled as shown.

The simplest rectangles are ABJI, BCKJ, IJFG and JKEF i.e. 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of two components each are ACKI, BCEF, IKEG and ABFG i.e. 4 in number.

The only rectangle composed of four components is ACEG.

Thus, there are 4 + 4 + 1 = 9 rectangles in the given figure.
