Ignore the 'b's in the middle since they don't form the outer perimeter.
All you need to do is add up the six "b+1" terms that are the lengths of the six outer sides to get
P = s1 + s2 + s3 + s4 + s5 + s6
P = (b+1)+(b+1)+(b+1)+(b+1)+(b+1)+(b+1)
P = b+1+b+1+b+1+b+1+b+1+b+1
P = (b+b+b+b+b+b) + (1+1+1+1+1+1)
P = (6b) + (6)
P = 6b + 6
So the answer is choice C
