The answer is 8 sides.

Explanation:

A plane intersects a prism parallel to the base of the prism. The cross section is a polygon with eight sides. The base of the prism has also 8 sides.

The cross-section of a plane parallel to the base is the same shape as the base. The cross section is also an eight sided polygon, so, the base of the prism has 8 sides.
