Hello BTGmoderatorDC.
Here, since all squares are identical, we can move down the squares that are at the right and at the left. So we get the picture:
So, the perimeter of the figure is 12.
Therefore, the correct answer is the option [spoiler]B=12[/spoiler].
I hope it helps you. <i class="em em-smiley"></i>
