The number of Makki Surahs in the Holy Quran is commonly accepted as 86 or 88 in some traditions, but the most widely accepted count is 86.

Therefore, option C (84) is closest to the accepted count, but since 86 is the most accurate number, the options should be corrected to reflect this. The original answer of 88 is slightly higher than the commonly accepted count. Hence, the correct answer is 86 Makki Surahs.
