    The equation for solving the volume of a pyramid is equal to,

    Volume = Bh/3

    where B is the area of the base and h is height.

    To compute for the area of the base, we use the equation,

    A = aP/2

    where a is apothem and P is perimeter. Substituting the known values,

    A = (3 mm) (5 x 4 mm) / 2 = 30 mm²

    Substituting the computed value to the equation for volume.

    V = (30 mm²) (4.1 mm) / 3 = 41 mm³

    Thus, the answer is letter A.
