Answer 2

The given statement is a correct statement i.e. TRUE.

Explanation:

We know that when a right circular cone is intersected by a plane parallel to it's edge and not passing through the vertex then the cross-section that is formed on this slicing will be a parabola.

Also, a circle is formed when the slicing is done parallel to the base.

This slicing could also be seen with the help of the figure attached to the answer.
