Answer 2

C: 3 inches by 6 inches

Explanation:

Notice that point A is a mid point. If we cut the prism though that point, perpendicular to the shaded face, it means the side of 4 inches will be divide in two equal parts, and the 3-6 inches face won't be cut.

Therefore, the dimensions of the cross section is 3 inches by 6 inches, which are the dimensions of the face that won't be cut, because they don't intersect with point A.
