<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: C is the correct answer.

The cross-section that is obtained on slicing is:

C. An ellipse.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that when a cylinder is sliced by a plane parallel to its base then a circle is obtained.

If slicing is done perpendicular to the base then the cross-section that is obtained is: rectangle.

and if slicing is done by a plane that is not parallel to the base and intersects only the lateral surface is: Ellipse.

Hence, option: C is the answer.
