Answer:

B) Hexagon

Explanation:

while there is a pentagon tessellation the tessellation doesn't have a perfect five fold symmetry, its an irregular shape and must be subdivided to fit. And also cant divide by 360 degrees evenly. However a hexagon can do all of that, just look up an image, and the rest of the options are deemed impossible. Because of math.
