Answer:
B) 256
Step-by-step explanation:
You are doubling the amount of boxes there are each time:
Pattern 1: 1 box
Pattern 2: 2 boxes
Pattern 3: 4 boxes
Pattern 4: 8 boxes
Pattern 5: 16 boxes
Pattern 6: 32 boxes
Pattern 7: 64 boxes.
Each box takes 4 matches to create. There are 64 boxes in total by the 7th pattern. Multiply 4 with 64:
64 x 4 = 256
B) 256 matches is your answer.
