Answer:

B. Cone,

E. Pyramid.

Explanation:

We are asked to choose the shapes which have an apex.

We know that apex is the highest point of a shape and it is directly above the base of a figure.

Let us check our given choices one by one.

A. Sphere:

We know that sphere is rounded from each side, so it can not have an apex.

B. Cone:

We know that a cone has an apex directly above its base, therefore, option B is the correct choice.

C. Cylinder:

We know that cylinder is a circular shape and it has no apex, therefore, cylinder is not a correct choice.

D. Cube:

We know that cube is a three dimensional figure, whose each side is equal, therefore, cube is not a correct choice either.

E. Pyramid:

Since pyramid's vertices meet directly above its base, therefore, pyramid is the correct choice.
