Hint: The items in a geometrical box are more or less the same in any place in the world. We find out the items in a geometry box and try to find out the number of set squares. We also try to find out the usages of the items inside the box.

Complete step by step answer:
First, we find out what a geometrical box is and the use of it.
A mathematical instrument is a tool or device used in the study or practice of mathematics. In geometry, construction of various proofs was done using only a compass and straightedge; arguments in these proofs relied only on idealized properties of these instruments and literal construction was regarded as only an approximation.
Most general instruments are used within the field of geometry, including protractor, the ruler, dividers, set square, compass, ellipsograph, T-square.
There has to be 2 set squares, 1 protractor, 1 divider, 1 compass.

There are two set squares which have a shape of a triangle. A set square or triangle is an object used in engineering and technical drawing, with the aim of providing a straightedge at a right angle or other particular planar angle to a baseline.
In elementary school it’s also used for the same reason.
But the thing is not very much used in that sense as the protractor does much of the angle thing.

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note: The simplest form of set square is a triangular piece of transparent with a hollow centre of triangle shaped. More commonly the set square bears the markings of a ruler and a half circle protractor. The outer edges are typically bevelled. They are often purchased in packs with protractors and compasses.
