Answer:

(B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of a right rectangular pyramid is a rectangle, so if we cut the pyramid with a plane that is parallel to the base, we will get a cross-section with a rectangular form or (A)

We can also cut the pyramid with a plane that is perpendicular to the base, In this case, we will get a cross-section with a triangular form (C)

Finally, we can cut the pyramid with a transversal plane and get a cross-section with the form of a trapezoid (D)

Therefore, the answer is (B) because a square is not a cross-section for the right rectangular pyramid.
