Solution
The correct option is A Cuboid
Say:
We have to find a shape that has 8 vertices with all faces as squares or rectangles but not of the same shape.
Step:
∙ A cuboid has 8 vertices and the 8 faces are squares and rectangles.
∙ A cuboid can have both rectangular and square faces as shown on the whiteboard.
∙ Hence, Option B is the answer.

Q: If all the faces are squares, while the other conditions are the same, which shape will it be?
Answer: It will be a cube as all its faces are identical squares.
