Question 20 • Mathematics III

Every possible cross section of a three-dimensional figure is a circle. What is the figure?

Answer
A
cylinder
B
sphere
C
cone
D
circle

Explanation

A plane cutting through a sphere makes a circular cross section (or a single point if it just touches the sphere). A cylinder or cone can have cross sections that are not circles, depending on the direction of the cut. Therefore, the figure is a sphere, choice D.
