Answer:

The correct answer is option D. Oval

Explanation:

From the figure we can see that, a cone and a plane intersects the cone.

If the plane intersects the cone parallel to the base of cone, the cross section is circle.

But here the plane not parallel to the base of the cone, therefore the cross section is oval in shape.

The correct answer is option D. Oval
