A prism differs from a pyramid in having

  • A.a single base and an apex
  • B.no plane faces at all
  • C.a curved lateral surface
  • D.two parallel identical bases

Answer: D

Correct answer: two parallel identical bases

A prism has two parallel and identical bases joined by lateral faces; a pyramid has a single base and all its lateral faces meeting at an apex. Both are polyhedra with plane faces, and both may be right or oblique - the difference is in the number of bases, and hence in whether the lateral edges are parallel or convergent.
