Answer:

1st Option is correct that is we get circle after slicing a right circular cylinder in small pieces.

Explanation:

Given: Jamal Sliced aright circular cylinder into congruent pieces.

To find: Shape of Two-Dimensional plane section obtained after slicing.

We get congruent pieces only when we slice the cylinder parallel to its base at equal heights.

By doing this we get small pieces of cylinders of equal height and equal radius.

Base and top remains same that is circular in shape.

Therefore, 1st Option is correct that is we get circle after slicing a right circular cylinder in small pieces.
