Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

In the side-4 equilateral triangular grid, two adjacent unit triangles sharing an edge form a rhombus of side 1 (6 in each of the 3 orientations, giving 6×3=186 \times 3 = 18), and two adjacent side-2 equilateral triangles sharing an edge form a rhombus of side 2 (1 in each of the 3 orientations, giving 3). The total number of rhombuses is 18+3=2118 + 3 = 21.
