Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) 2

The first door exits P’s bottom room into the left corridor. The second door through the central partition reaches the right corridor, which connects around the short upper wall to Q without another door. One door cannot cross both partitions, so the minimum is **2, C**.
