The formula for the volume of a square pyramid is V = (1/3)Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid.

In this case, the base is a square with sides of 2.75 inches, so the area of the base is 2.75 x 2.75 = 7.5625 square inches.

Plugging in the values, V = (1/3) x 7.5625 x 2.75 = 24.4725 cubic inches.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the ornament is approximately 24.47 in.³.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

24.47 in.³
