A plane intersects only one nappe of a double-napped cone, and the plane is perpendicular to the generating line of the cone.

A plane intersects only one nappe of a double-napped cone, and the plane is parallel to the generating line of the cone.

A plane intersects only one nappe of a double-napped cone, and the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone.

A plane intersects both nappes of a double-napped cone, and the plane does not intersect the vertex.

Answer 1

The answer is a plane intersects only one nappe of a double-napped cone, and the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone.

Answer 2

A plane intersects only one nappe of a double-napped cone, and the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone.

In the first choice, you will have an ellipse. In the second choice, you will have a parabola. In the fourth choice, you will have a hyperbola.
