Answer: C. Rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The prism shown in the figure is a right rectangular prism, which is a tridimensional figure composed of six rectangular faces, and where each interior angle between the base and the side is a right angle (a [tex]90 \°[/tex] angle).

Hence, if we make a cross-sectional cut of this prism, the resultant two-dimensional figure is a rectangle.

This means the correct option is C.
