detailed solution

Correct option is C

In all, we have 8 squares in which 6 'X .have to be placed and it can be done in  8C6=28
But this includes the possibility that either the top or horizontal row does not have any X. 

Since, we want each row must have atleast one .x, these two possibilities are to be excluded.
Hence, required number of ways = 28 - 2 = 26
