The correct response is:

They are square pyramids. They have 5 faces. The 4 lateral faces are triangles, and the 5th face is a square base. Each pyramid has 5 vertices and 8 edges. The 4 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex.

Square pyramids have a square base and four triangular faces that converge at a single point (the apex).
