Answer:

I think B is the correct one

Answer:

4n + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

n = the number of matchstick "homes."

The first has 5 matchsticks.  But each additional home adds only 4, since one side is already present.  

4n+ 1 for n=1 produces 5 matchsticks.  Adding a second home would make it 4(2) + 1 = 9 matchsticks, which is also correct.  Continue with more homes, and you'll find this equation returns the correct values.
