Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture below illustrates a hyperbola.
The intersecting plane does not pass through the vertex of a right circular cone (the vertex of the cone is the point where two nappes meet).
As you can see from the diagram, the plane intersects both nappes of a right circular cone.
Hence, correct option is option A: The plane does not pass through the vertex and intersects both nappes of a right circular cone.
