STEP - BY - STEP EXPLANATION

What to find?

The platonic solid that has twenty faces that are equilateral triangles.

Given:

Platonic solid.

Let's check each option.

A hexahedron is a polyhedron with 6 faces.

So this is not an option.

An octahedron is a polyhedron with 8 faces.

This option is also ruled out.

A Dodecahedron is a polyhedron with 12 faces.

This is also not an option.

An Icosahedron is a polyhedron whose faces are 20 equilateral triangles.

Hence Icosahedron is the correct option.

ANSWER

C. Icosahedron
