The prompt is essentially asking for the maximum number of 2 x 2 squares that can be cut from a larger 20 by 20 square. Since each 'row' and each 'column' of the larger square can be sub-divided into 10 'pieces' each, we have (10)(10) = 100 total smaller squares (at maximum). The final answer: (B).
