Solution

The correct option is D Two pentagonal shapes joined together to form an enclosed 3-dimensional shape
A prism is a polyhedron, with two parallel faces called bases. The other faces are always parallelograms.
It is a 3-dimensional shape having flat faces, identical ends and same cross section.
So, option A is incorrect.
If we join any 2-dimensional shapes, it does not imply that the shape created is a prism.
Circular shapes does not have flat faces in 3-dimensional plane.
If we join two pentagonal shapes, we get a prism.
Hence, option C is correct.
