A solid consisting of two congruent, parallel polygons (bases) and all the points in space between them is the definition of a prism.

Evaluate the given options

• A. triangle: A two-dimensional polygon, not a solid.
• B. pyramid: A solid with one polygonal base and triangular faces meeting at a single vertex.
• C. prism: A solid with two parallel, congruent polygonal bases and all points between them.
• D. cube: A specific type of prism where all faces are squares, but the general definition given applies to any parallel polygons.
