Solution
The correct option is B
prism
Explanation for the correct option:
Prism:
A prism has a solid shape comprising of two identical bases (such as a triangle, square, rectangle, etc.). These bases are connected to each other using lateral surfaces (parallelograms). The shape of the prism does not have any curve. Therefore, a prism can have square, rectangular, pentagonal, and other polygon shapes but not circular shapes.
For example: A triangular prism has two triangular bases, connected to each other using lateral rectangular surfaces as shown in the figure.
Explanation for the incorrect option:
Pyramid:
A Pyramid has only one base and all triangular lateral faces as shown in the figure.
Cone:
A Cone has one circular base and one curved surface as shown in the figure.
Sphere:
A sphere is a three-dimensional closed figure that has only one curved surface as shown in the figure. Each point on the surface is equidistant from the centre of the sphere.
All these figures don't match the given data which says “A solid that has two opposite identical faces and other faces as parallelograms”.
