Answer:

d. 40

Explanation:

The number of faces, edges and vertices is related by the following formula:


V - E + F = 2

In which V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges and F is the number of faces.

In this question:


F = 25, V = 17

We want to find E. So


V - E + F = 2


17 - E + 25 = 2


E = 42 - 2 = 40

The correct answer is given by option D.
