Answer:

Option D. cylinder

A rectangle is given with ABCD as its vertices. This rectangle is rotated around the horizontal line through D and A.

Line joining points D and A is the side DA of rectangle about which the rectangle is rotated.

After rotation we will get a shape of cylinder which will have radius equal to side AB or CD and height of the cylinder will be side BC or DA.
