Polio — polyhedral.
Explanation: Poliovirus is a non-enveloped picornavirus with an icosahedral (polyhedral) capsid. The other pairings are incorrect: HIV is enveloped (with a conical/icosahedral capsid), Ebola is filamentous/helical, and many bacteriophages have a complex head‑and‑tail structure (not enveloped).
