Answer:

d. solid cone

Step-by-step explanation:

Solid revolution is the general method used for revolving a given figure about a reference plane to produce a required solid. This process involves the generation of a 3 dimensional shape from a 2 dimensional figure.

A triangle is a three sided figure which generates a solid or hollow cone when it revolves about a given line. If the given triangle is made to revolve about the line, the resulting object would be a solid cone.
