Best answer
Right answer is (b) 2

For explanation: Origin is at 1st division ending. 1st division is made to sub-divisions. From origin, it is divided into divisions on the right side and towards left 1st division is divided into sub-divisions. Here it is asked to measure how many divisions do 2 feet takes. It is 2 from origin to right.
