Answer:

Option 1

Explanation:

Counter-intuitively, the correct answer is option 1. Option 2 is obviously a cross section, since it is the shape of the base of the triangle. Option 3 is also obviously a cross section, since the figure is a triangular prism. Option 4 is a cross section because, if you slice diagonally, you may create a cross section with a wider base on the bottom and larger on top. However, it is impossible to create a cross section of a rectangle from this square pyramid. Hope this helps!
