It doesn't make sense to talk about "the" base. You could consider any face to be "the base" of this shape.
Assuming the base is the side on bottom of the shape, we know that face is a hexagon, where each edge is of length 5. We still have no idea what kind of hexagon we're dealing with; it might be a regular hexagon, but it's easy to make a hexagon with all sides equal that is not regular. If two opposite sides of such a hexagon are very close together, the area of the hexagon could be very close to zero. So even using both Statements, we can't find the area of the base, and can't find the volume, so the answer is E.
