the problem is that heavy line is not heavy line..

Yes. The OA is C. Does the "heavy line" means the outline of the figure?

Yeah, we can only guess because I cannot distinguish heavy lines:))
P.S. sometimes when the question is trivial and easy I'm having harder time than with hard ones... cause sometimes I cannot believe that it can be that easy...
I think its a common "Disease".... ANYBODY KNOWS CURE???:)lol

I'm still not clear with the 'total length of the heavy line segments'.
But, 'length of line segments', perhaps indicate that it should be a perimeter oly, meaning, it's not the length of the rectangle, which I had instantly thought!
However, heavy line segments, still can't make a clue of the language.
From what I see from other answers, it is the perimeter of the non-overlapping region, correct??
Can't/shouldn't be a part of the actuals...
