Solution

The correct option is B
square

A pyramid is a solid object, whose base is a polygon.

The ends of each edge of the base polygon join the apex. Thus, the lateral faces of the pyramid are triangles and it has no top face

If the base of the pyramid is a square, it is called a square pyramid.
