A cylinder is sliced by a plane that is not parallel to the base and intersects only the lateral surface. The resulting cross section is which of the following

A: A Circle

B: A Parabola

C: An Ellipse

D: A Hyperbola

Option: C is the correct answer.

The cross-section that is obtained on slicing is:

C. An ellipse.

Step-by-step explanation: We know that when a cylinder is sliced by a plane parallel to its base then a circle is obtained. If slicing is done perpendicular to the base then the cross-section that is obtained is: rectangle. and if slicing is done by a plane that is not parallel to the base and intersects only the lateral surface is: Ellipse.

Hence, option: C is the answer.

The answer is C: An Ellipse
