    The segment from the top to the center of the base is perpendicular to the base

    The base must be a regular polygon

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Verify each statement

    case A) The bases are parallel and congruent.

    The statement is false

    Because the pyramid has only one base

    case B) The segment from the top to the center of the base is perpendicular to the base

    The statement is true

    Because, is a right pyramid, the segment from the top to the center of the base is equal to the height of the pyramid

    case C) All the faces are congruent pentagons

    The statement is false

    Because, the base is a pentagon and the lateral faces are triangles

    case D) The base is a pentagon and the sides are triangles.

    The statement is true, however, this condition does not define a right pentagonal pyramid.

    case E) The base must be a regular polygon

    The statement is true

    Because, if the base is not a regular polygon, the segment from the top to the center of the base is not perpendicular to the base, therefore is not a right pentagonal pyramid
