Accepted Answer

To solve this problem:

1. **Count each triangle carefully**:  
   - Start by identifying all the simplest triangles in the figure.
   - Check for any triangles formed by combining two or more smaller triangles.

2. **Visual breakdown**:  
   - The figure contains one large triangle on the left.
   - There are three more triangles formed by the internal lines and the triangle outside the main shape.

3. **Total triangles**:  
   - After careful counting, there are **4 distinct triangles** in the figure.

Thus, the correct answer is **(c) 4**.
