Maximum Range Question

If you have a thrown/ranged weapon with a maximum range of 10 ft, does that mean that you can only attack targets that are
a) adjacent or up to one 5 ft. square away from you
or
b) up to two 5 ft. squares away from you?

Just to clarify, what I mean by two 5 ft. squares away from you is any adjacent square or any square touching an adjacent square .

That's what I meant, too, and I thought that was what option "a" was saying, but after reading it again, I think it is saying just adjacent squares. In this case, option "b" is correct.
 

Sorry for the confusion:

This is needlessly confusing. :)

If the max range is 10 feet, that's two squares.

If you are character "z" you can reach any of the Xs:

.XXX.
XXXXX
XXzXX
XXXXX
.XXX.

Just count the squares from your character's square. One, two. If you haven't gotten to your target's square, you know he's out of range.

-z

EDIT: Nice diagram! A is correct.
