Answer:

Option D

Pyramid

Explanation:

The clause that gave away the answer is "three-dimensional solid consisting of a base that can be any polygon"

Scanning through the options, we can see that the only option that fits the description is the pyramid.

The pyramid is the only three-dimensional shape amongst the options that can take any polygon as a base.

The other options get screened out here.

A cube must have a square base.

A triangular prism must have a triangular base

A rectangular prism must have a rectangular base

Thus, option D: The Pyramid is the correct answer.
