Answer:

Pentagonal Prism with two pentagons and five rectangles.

Explanation:

I have the same question, and (If your answer choices are the following)

"Equilateral triangle prism with two triangles and two rectangles" it would be wrong, you would need 3 rectangles.

"Pentagonal prism with two pentagons and five rectangles" is correct A pentagonal prism would have two pentagons, and five rectangles.

"Rectangular prism with four rectangles"

is incorrect as well, you would need 6 rectangles.

"Square prism with four squares" is also incorrect, you would need 6 squares.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Pentagonal Prism with two pentagons and five rectangles."
