\begin{array} {|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex} \text{Number of squares} \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
\hline
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex} \text{Number of pins} \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt} & 4 & 7 & 10 \\
\hline
\end{array}

\(\therefore\ \text{The number of pins}=3\times \text{Number of squares}+1\)

\(\Rightarrow B\)
