only 2, many think that there are 6 but only the small squares on the end
A prism has two congruent bases that are parallel and identical in shape. The sides connecting these bases, known as lateral faces, are typically rectangular and can vary in number depending on the type of prism. For example, a triangular prism has three rectangular lateral faces, while a rectangular prism has four. Thus, a prism has at least two congruent sides from its bases, but the total number of congruent sides can vary based on the specific type of prism.
none
There are twelve edges in a rectangular prism.
An octagonal prism has two octagonal bases and eight rectangular lateral faces. Each rectangular face is a parallelogram. Therefore, the total number of parallelograms in an octagonal prism is ten: two from the bases and eight from the lateral faces.

6
There are 6 bases
62 bases
It depends on what kind of prism you mean. For example, a rectangular prism has 6 bases and a triangular prism has 5 bases. A triangular prism only has two bases.
none
One base
There are twelve edges in a rectangular prism.
An octagonal prism has two octagonal bases and eight rectangular lateral faces. Each rectangular face is a parallelogram. Therefore, the total number of parallelograms in an octagonal prism is ten: two from the bases and eight from the lateral faces.
A rectangular cube (a cuboid) is a kind of prism and, by convention, prisms have two bases.
four
A triangular prism has five bases because it can be flipped over to form five different bases
A hexagonal prism is a prism composed of two hexagonal bases and six rectangular sides.
