Answer:

B. 5

Explanation:

Each edge of the base has one triangular face attached to it (which then come together). Since it is a square base, this gives you 4 faces, and the base itself makes 5 faces.

5 faces because there are 4 triangle sides and 1 square side. (or face whatever you wanna call it)
