Answer: (B) 5 

The Pentagon is a 5-sided polygon. Generally, the polygon is defined as the n-sided polygon. The number of sides of the polygon should be equal to the number of vertices and the number of angles of the pentagon.

So hence a pentagon should have 5 vertices and 5 angles.

The internal angle between the sides of a regular pentagon is 108°. The central angle is 72°.
