Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

Cross section: In three-dimensional space, the non-empty intersection of a solid body and a plane is known as cross section.

A cylinder has two circular plane surface called edges (top and bottom) and curved surface.

If the plane intersects the cylinder vertically along an edge of the cylinder, then the plane is perpendicular to both edges and we get two pairs of opposite sides which are equal.

It means, the cross section of plane and cylinder is a rectangle.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
