Solution

The correct option is B Circle
A horizontal cross section is obtained when the plane that passes through the solid object is parallel to its base.
When the plane passes through the cone which is parallel to its base then we will obtain a circle as the horizontal cross section of cone.
So, the horizontal cross section of cone is a circle.
