The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The figure is a square base plate carrying a tall block with a small bar on top, a house-shaped prism and a triangular prism.
Base plate (a cuboid resting on the ground): top and four sides = 5 surfaces (the bottom is on the ground).
Tall block (cuboid): top and four sides = 5 surfaces (its bottom is joined to the plate).
Small bar on top of the block (cuboid): top and four sides = 5 surfaces.
House-shaped prism (pentagonal prism): two pentagonal ends, two walls and two roof slopes = 6 surfaces (the floor is joined to the plate).
Triangular prism: one top triangle and three sides = 4 surfaces (the bottom triangle is joined to the plate).
Total = 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 4 = 25.
