Solution

The correct option is A

Circle


A circle has infinite number of lines of symmetry. All the secants passing through the center are the lines of symmetry.

A regular decagon has 10 lines of symmetry because it has 10 equal sides.

In the case of prism symmetry depends upon the shape of a triangle that we are taking e.g. for an isosceles triangular-based prism has 2 planes of symmetry. An equilateral triangular-based prism has four planes of symmetry. An equilateral triangular-based triangular-based prism has four planes of symmetry. An equilateral triangular based prism has four planes of symmetry.

A pyramid being three-dimensional does not have lines of symmetry.

Hence the correct option is A
