Answer:

The height of the cylinder

Explanation:

The perpendicular distance between two bases of a cylinder is not going to be the radius or diameter of the bases (because it is BETWEEN the bases, not ON them) and it is not the area of the bases because the area of a shape cannot be a distance.

So, the only option left is the height of the cylinder, which is the correct answer.
