a) 18
b) 19
c) 20
d) 21

I had picked e as an answer. I had taken below approach

If each level were considered one game, just add all the levels to get the number of games possible.
3+4+4+4+4= 19.

If you progress through different stages/levels to reach the 5th then what you did is correct. Not sure what the question asks.
