Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

Here we see the cross-section of a cone when it is cut by a plane that is parallel to the base of the cone.

As the plane is parallel to the base, we expect to see a figure that has the same shape as the base ( a circle) (you can think that over the plane we have a smaller cone, and the base of that cone also must be circular)

So the correct option is D.
