The correct answer is the last option (Option D), which is:

D. Triangle

A cone is figure with a surface of three dimensions. This solid has a vertex know as "apex". Therefore, if a plane that is perpendicular to the base of a cone passes through the apex or vertex of the cone, the shape that is formed by the intersection is a triangle.
