Solution

The correct option is C $1$ square is added at each end
In the first figure the center square is surrounded by 1 square from all the four sides. Similarly, In the second figure the center square is surrounded by 2 and 3 squares from all the four sides respectively. Hence after every step, the number of squares surrounding the center square increases by 1.
