An illustration shows the unfolded version of an object comprised of 4 similar triangles. A triangle shares its base on the bottom with a the base of a second triangle. That first triangle also shares its right side with the left side of a third triangle. The third triangle shares its base with a fourth triangle. The common sides and bases are shown as dashed lines.

An illustration shows the unfolded version of an object comprised of 4 similar triangles. A triangle in the center shares its left side with the side of a second triangle. The base of the second triangle faces down. The center triangle also shares its right side with a third triangle. The base of the third triangle faces up. The center triangle shares its base on the bottom with the base of a fourth triangle. All the common sides are shown as dashed lines.

An illustration shows a triangle at the center in dashed lines. Three squares adjoin the triangle, one on each side of the triangle.

An illustration shows an unfolded version of a pyramid comprising of 4 triangles. A triangle at the center shares a side on the left with a second triangle and a side on the right with a third triangle. These three triangles appear similar. The base of the third triangle on the right side of the center triangle shares the base with a fourth triangle. The fourth triangle appears differently shaped from the other three. The common sides are shown as dashed lines

The net that represents a triangular pyramid is the second illustration, where a triangle in the center shares its sides with other triangles. In this configuration, the central triangle represents the base of the pyramid, while the other triangles, which extend upward, represent the triangular faces of the pyramid.

The first illustration describes a different arrangement that may not suit the definition of a triangular pyramid, and the last two illustrations involve squares or other shapes that do not characterize a triangular pyramid's net. Therefore, the second net is the correct choice.
