Here the points A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S represent the small squares from the given diagram.
firstly, we have 21 small squares
and now , ABED,BCEF,DEGH,EFIH,GHJK,HIKL,JKNM,KLON,UTQR are 4 X4 squares =9
Lets locate 3 X 3 squares.
ABCIHG,GHIONM,DEFLKJ =3
So, the total squares are 21+9+3= 33
Hence answer is option D
