Answer:

The resulting cross sectional area will be circle.

Explanation:

If a plane intersects a sphere it will give the cross sectional shape of circle

Whenever a plane intersects a three dimensional figure it will result in two dimensional figure.

The sphere when intersects by a plane will always give the circle no matter where does it intersect from.
