The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The figure is made of two overlapping large triangles (a star-like shape) with a few lines inside.
Outer lines: the top horizontal line, the bottom horizontal line, the two slanting sides of the upward triangle and the two slanting sides of the downward triangle. That is 6 lines.
Inner lines: (7) the line from the top apex to the inner point; (8) the horizontal line from the left crossing to the inner point; (9) the long line from the left side of the upper triangle through the inner point to the bottom right corner; (10) the line from the inner point to the top right corner; (11) the short line from the bottom edge up to the right side of the downward triangle.
No two of these segments lie on the same straight line, so they cannot be merged. Total = 6 + 5 = 11.
Answer: (1) 11
