Answer:

sphere, cylinder, (right circular) cone

Explanation:

Any cross section of a sphere is a circle.

A cross section parallel to the base of a cylinder or cone will have the same shape as the base. By definition, a cylinder has a circular base. A "right circular" cone will also have a circular base.

___

A torus, ellipsoid, or hyperboloid may also have a circular cross section.
